Greenfield, Massachusetts: Ben S. Clarke And The Gender Equity

On September 29, 2010, in Greenfield, MA, Life in New England, by Editor

Now there is the diaper-changing-phobia (“I have a strict policy about changing diapers: I don’t.”) He says, “It has something to do with “gender equity” and division of infant labor duties.” Hmm, gender equity… division of infant labor duties… I do imagine the busloads of women from all over the country arriving in Greenfield, Massachusetts, trying to get a date with Ben S. Clarke.

Motor Vehicle Registration – Please Take A Number…

On September 21, 2010, in Business in Greenfield - Massachusetts, Life in New England, Lifestyle, Neurotica, by Editor

It was time. After more than ten years of driving the same vehicle and after 146,000+ miles, my wife had to give up her Nissan Altima. It’s a nice car with a great gas mileage of about 30 mpg (mixed city and highway), but ten harsh New England winters do show their impact. After too many repair bills with another $1000 bill looming, we had made the decision to buy a new used car, preferably a Subaru. A four wheel drive is a good choice when you live in the heart of New England.

75 Things Every New Englander Should Do

On September 15, 2010, in Life in New England, Lifestyle, by Editor

Living in the heart of New England, without being a native New Englander, comes with a number of surprises, including some cultural clashes. In this case it doesn’t matter whether you came from Europe (like yours truly) or from California. I never imagined I would live in an American equivalent of Leonard Wibberly’s Duchy of Grand Fenwick, or even that a Chevy Chase movie like Funny Farm was not based on mere fantasy, but careful observation. Don’t get me wrong. I am thrilled to live here, and I am looking forward to all future twists and turns that will change my life to resemble that of the people of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick.

On June 18, 2010, in Greenfield, MA, Life in New England, Marketing, by Editor

New York Times, Washington Post, and all other big newspapers all over the country struggling to survive the Internet boom, here is my ode to the Recorder, serving the people of Greenfield, Massachusetts and the North Quabbin region.

Speechwriter Ben S. Clarke And His Offensive Humor

On June 9, 2010, in Greenfield, MA, Life in New England, Politics in Greenfield, Massachusetts, by Editor

I still wonder who at The Recorder allows Ben S. Clarke to continue his Rush-Limbaugh-wannabe tirades, and if someone will tell him that his humor is not funny in the least.

On June 1, 2010, in Life in New England, by Editor

As it happens, Lighthouse Point is ideal for counting raptors and certain other species during the migration.
