Seven Years Later

It is hard to believe seven years have passed since the fateful day when so many innocent Americans lost their lives. I remember every vivid detail of that day like it happened a few hours ago. I just got done writing my yearly email to an ex-coworker who I spent 5 hours in a car [...]

Poker thanks to Hannah - Master Cleanse Day 5

For those of you outside of New Hampshire the big topic of discussion here aside from the upcoming NH primary  is property taxes.  You see…we here in New Hampshire have no income tax or sales tax and as quick as we are ready to live free or die ,we are not going to add those [...]
