The Last Gasp

Last year I rode my bicycle in The Last Gasp which is a bicycle ‘race’ of about 62 miles from Sandwich to Provincetown on Cape Cod.

I was a ‘Big Wheel’ last year in my first fundraising effort, and I hope to exceed that by quite a bit this year. Thank you all in advance for your support!

Feeding Imaginary Goats

I’m going to recycle a piece I wrote some years ago. I just re-read it for the first time in a long time… I am not sure that asking me to write about art is a good idea. Asking me to ruminate upon the nature of things is like turning the goats loose on your


Walking the Walk

I spend as much time as I can hiking out on Sandy Neck Beach in West Barnstable. It is one of the most beautiful places not just on Cape Cod but anywhere, and it engenders a communion with nature in my mind that I have never found with such regularity. It seems that ach time
