I read with excitement a few months back about how Roku and Comcast were working to move the Xfinity TV interface over to the Roku video streaming box. We already have both of these in our bedroom, and I was thinking we’d get another when the Xfinity TV app is finally ported for the media…
I had framed prints that I exhibited at Valley Photo Center recently. When the exhibits closed, I had to do something with them…
I’m starting a new relationship with one of Springfield’s hidden treasures. Inside of Tower Square, on the 2nd level, is a photo gallery called Valley Photo Center. I’ve known about them for years, but I’ve only recently gotten involved. Part of the reason for my reluctance, I guess, is the high cost of parking at…

To put that in perspective, my Rainbow’s disk could be replicated 400,000 times in the…
My mom was an artist throughout her life. This included being an actor on the theatrical stage, an author, and an artist working in various media. When she died, we took over her collection of books and artwork. There was a lot and during our transfer of these items from her home in Caribou, ME,…
