I am the worst kind of writer. I am the kind of writer who calls himself a writer, but never makes time to write.
They can dance if they want to, if they don’t, nobody in Gorham will. On Thursday the 18th in the Portland computer lab there was dancing o-plenty as four unidentified men strolled right on in with a boom box and did a shirtless boogie to the unt-unt-unt of techno.
When Susie Bock thought about all the advantages of adopting the Edith C. Rice Children’s Literature Collection, she could never have foreseen it’s current use.
Rebecca Goodale, an art teacher and bookmaker at USM has come up with the idea of having her students draw inspiration from the illustrated children’s books, some of which are ancient.
Adversity? No problem. The USM men’s ice hockey team dominated Plymouth State College (PSC) on Tuesday while overcoming the loss of leading scorer Chris Sparkes (St. John’s, Nfld) due to a high ankle sprain and handling the Panthers by a score of 4-1. Additionally, the discouraging residuum of almost 30 penalty calls seemed to have no effect on the Huskies’ game throughout the night.
Is there anything more entertaining than watching Mike Martz self-destruct on the sidelines? The noted Civil War buff who masquerades as a football coach looked like he had just been hurled back off of Little Round Top by the 20th Maine when the St. Louis Rams were abused by the New England Patriots on November 9.

For as long as there have been folks making movies, there have been folks filming other folks getting it on. And since the American household was invaded by the VCR in the 1980’s, the porn industry, once a purveyor of poorly shot, plot-less fare intended for stag parties and “specialty” movie-house release has evolved into a billion dollar concern.

This column was doomed from the start. A good indication of this is that I am sitting here, as we speak, in the bathtub, the night before my deadline, typing away. That’s right, the bathtub.
This past weekend, I flew to DC to see friends of mine. Although the snow began to fall in Boston, the first snow I’d seen of the season, the flight was relatively normal. The pilot cautioned us ahead of time to expect “tolerable turbulence.” As far as the weather was concerned, he was right.
