Look Park

Took a walk around Look Park in Northampton today after dropping off my kids' carpool at school. I haven't been there for a while, and didn't realize the the Willow Lake dredging project had already been completed. The lake now looks to be in great shape. The bandshell by the lake makes a great location for weddings, if you're looking for a beautiful spot outdoors. And if you don't want to travel to another location on your big day, the Look Park Garden House is a great place to have a reception.

Rudy Wilson Galdonik

I was in Greenland, NH, yesterday, taping Rudy Wilson Galdonik. Rudy is a humorist, speaker and author—in her words, a nearly bionic "menopausal mom with an attitude". She addressed an audience of women at Bethany Church and will use the footage on her website.

Compassionate Conditioning

In an effort to help you out with your New Year's resolutions, I recommend Lynne Marie Wanamaker. If you're looking for a personal fitness trainer, she's the best, especially if you feel guilty about last year's resolutions. She totally gets it, she's non-judgmental, and she really knows how to tailor a program to fit your needs.

Check out her website, Compassionate Conditioning, and contact her before you lose the nerve!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year and best wishes to all of our clients. More great videos to come in 2012!

Schneider Plumbing & Heating

I have to recommend Schneider Plumbing & Heating of Haydenville. Bob Schneider came out and fixed our non-working boiler the day before Thanksgiving, with just a day's notice. He was prompt, explained everything, and fixed the problem in about half an hour. We were able to tidy the house and prepare our feast in comfort. And we were relieved that our guests wouldn't have to keep their coats on!

You can find his contact info on Angie's List.

Bat Mitzvah Video

On Saturday, I was in Florence, MA taping Olivia's Bat Mitzvah. The service was at Beit Ahavah (they use the Florence Congregational Church), and the reception was at Mill 1 at Open Square in Holyoke.

It's always nice to return to Beit Ahavah. Rabbi Riqi Kosovske leads an inspiring service. It was my first time at Mill 1 in Holyoke, and I enjoyed videotaping in the space, which is a large, open, brick-walled room in an old factory building. Klezamir provided great music, there were games for the kids, and there was a photo corner where the kids could get pictures taken while dressed up in crazy accessories.
