Thoughts on Turkeys and This Winter's WeatherUnbelievable as it may seem, there may be a link between the two...
There's been a whole lot of talk about the weather lately. It's been weird all across the country, but particularly here in New England. And many of the old reliable "signs" have been way off -- at least so far.

MORE Reasons Why New Englanders Are Annoyed with LongfellowEven Connecticut Yankees have a pretty good reason to complain about him...
Last month, we wondered why Henry Wadsworth Longfellow omitted the name of Paul Revere's horse in his famous poem that begins, "Listen my children and you shall hear / Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere." After all, every horse has a name.
Well, now it turns out that's not the only reason New Englanders are annoyed with Longfellow. Also irritating to us is that he omitted the name of the man who hung the two lante ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
