Today smells like fall, 100%.  Still summer for a few more days, but you’d be hard-pressed to believe that.

Yep. I’m now the Chair of the Lebanon Energy Advisory Committee. Woo-hoo! It’s an agenda-setting and meeting-leading position, essentially, but it is nice to be “in charge.” It’s also a chance to really make a difference and have an impact in my city. Looking very much forward to the challenge!

Spent yesterday at home with a (not really all that) sick toddler, which was actually a lot of fun, since he wasn’t really sick at all, but the evening contained the notable bits.
1) Kicked off the Lebanon Energy Advisory Committee with our first meeting, which went well.  Should be a great committee to be on!
2) [...]

The New York Times has reviewed our area. Sounds like an AWESOME! place to live!

10 political calls on Saturday, plus 4 flyers, and one stumper.
Today, a Richardson rally in Hanover — –tomorrow, an Obama event in Lebanon.  Tuesday, I’ll figure out who I’m voting for…

Finally, some snow.  Up to and beyond two feet of the stuff by the end of the storm on Thursday, from the sounds of it.
‘Bout time, say I.  As it’s the first heavy storm in nearly two years, the area kind of freaked out — work closed down even!  Once the temperatures creak into the [...]

Last night I ducked out of the house for a few hours in the evening to have a few pints with a friend I’m planning some events with (homebrew instruction, followed by a beer dinner with the homebrew produced in the first class), and we wound up meeting a the Seven Barrel Brewpub, which is [...]
