Maya Lin Lecture at Smith College

I was lucky to be able to film the Maya Lin lecture at Smith College last night.  I only knew of her work designing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall while she was still a college student.  I didn't know the rest of the story about what a busy and remarkable career she has had as an artist and architect.

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.
