My recent surgery really got me thinking. It is time for me to start taking my career as a rock star serious. Sure I’ve written quite a few songs, but I really need to get a band together and start rehearsing. I know it is good to have a high decree of confidence in my […]
Mars has MOXIE! No, not the bitter beverage beloved by Mainers. I’m talking about the the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, affectionately called MOXIE by it’s principal investigator, Michael Hecht of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Haystack Observatory. This toaster size piece of equipment is part of the Perseverance Rover which began conducting experiments […]
About a month ago someone new moved into our neighborhood. No big deal, right? We have neighbors come and go all the time. Besides, this one seemed like a quiet fellow. Not like those nosy owls who are always asking “who?” every time I leave the house. Or the coyotes who are up all night […]
In honor of the Oscars, we would like to share with you again our post about the first dog to achieve fame in the movies. Long before Air Bud, Lassie, and even Toto and Rin Tin Tin, there was Jean, the Vitagraph Dog! Jean, a Collie from Eastport, Maine, was the first dog to have […]

While I recuperate from my surgery, I’ve passed the time looking out my front window. Just like Jimmy Stewart’s character in Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, I’ve been watching the neighbors and getting to know them better. Mr. and Mrs. Squirrel have been feeling frisky lately and chase each other around the yard all day. The […]
It’s been over a week since Asa was abducted by a UFO while visiting Dr. Doug at the animal hospital. It had all the telltale signs of an Alien abduction – Asa was missing for hours and returned home with obvious signs that a medical procedure was conducted on him. So today, I, Chuck Billy […]
Seven years ago, on April 18, 2014, our brother, Lemmy, crossed Rainbow Bridge, at the age of 7 years old. Before he joined our family, Mom and Dad spent 7 years planning for Lemmy. So today we are reflecting on 7 years of preparation, 7 years of love, and 7 years of reflection. Longtime Coming: […]
