Happy 2010. A mAd friend Michael said I should start a blog. This is it.
The Side Trek~ ‘Back Roads Thoughts’
First Post:
Northampton, Massachusetts isn’t New York or San Francisco, but this week~ Monday night, Jay Leno read the police log from our local newspaper. He remarked to Kevin Eubanks, “I think we’ve got the white trash trifecta here”: – A Florence Road resident reported at 7:30 a.m. that someone had broken into his home overnight while he was out drinking with his dog in his sister’s parking lot, and stole his snow blower
Pulitzer Prize winning author Tracy Kidder, Mountains Beyond Mountains, is holding a benefit concert for Haiti with local musicians in Shelburne Falls this weekend. He lives in the nearby town of Williamsburg.
The horrible Mel Gibson’s horrible new movie “Edge of Darkness” has scenes of Northampton’s Main Street and Court House, and a magnificent view of the Pioneer Valley from Mount Sugarloaf just 15 minutes up 91 in Deerfield.

If the concert in Shelbourne Falls has celebrities, Joe will surely be there.
