I love making a ‘to do list.’ I love it because as I cross things off I feel a sense of accomplishment. It feels like I can take on a whole new list of things. If I do it a few times, I can take care of lots of things that just need to get done. I guess I am not alone in these basic feelings.
The most charming town of Brunswick will celebrate Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in February. The community will have a number of events in honor of the poet. This year is the 206th anniversary of his birth. The annual Longfellow Days celebration will happen all through the month of February.
Legislative leaders have said OK to Maine Public Broadcasting Network and expanding State House coverage. It should be kind of like a local version of C-SPAN. The idea was approved by the House and Senate leaders. The free, over-the-air MPBN State House TV channel is devoted exclusively to coverage of the Legislature and government affairs.
This made me giggle, until I remembered how much I paid for a bag of frozen wings at the supermarket. Patrick likes them, but those wings must be made of gold or something! Well, two guys who work for a storage facility are accused of stealing $65,000 in frozen Tyson chicken wings. So, I am guessing it was just a few bags.
I love social media. But for all of us it should come with some questions and concerns about threats to our privacy. The American Civil Liberties Union of Maine is making privacy protection a priority and supporting a number of bills this year and Maine Lawmakers are listening.
‘CA$H Maine’ is a lot of groups helping a lot of people. First of all, CA$H stands for ‘Creating Assets, Savings and Hope.’ The group is made up from 50 non-profit and for-profit partners working together to help low and moderate income Mainers make the most of their money.
This has been one cold week. As I look outside it is a little warmer than is has been and sunny, but still darn chilly. That started me dreaming about being on a beach with a little umbrella drink. I am not picky, any on this list will do. My top picks would be Italy and Greece. What is not to love?
