I can see myself living here…

By Justin | October 15, 2008

The Connecticut River is so beautiful. I’d love to build a little house on the Portland side, in the woods, and watch the leaves change every year… I saw a 12-car freight train go over the rail bridge, watched the Middletown high school crew team launch and row up the river, and sat on a [...]

Adventures on the North River

By Justin | June 26, 2008

Wendy and I went out on the North River today, a neat and beautiful 6-mile trip that included paddling up, then down, the river in a canoe (my first canoe trip), and jumping off the Union Street bridge in Scituate (my first bridge jump). I could go into details about how fun it was, how [...]

Things I have seen this summer

By Justin | June 25, 2008

The first third of my summer is nearly past. I have seen many things. I have seen hail horizontally riding the wind, and I have seen lightning arc across the entire sky in a beautiful but frightening chain, electrifying the entire atmosphere. I have seen the charred remains of a section of forest, blackened to [...]

Summer, in smaller chunks than desired

By Justin | June 3, 2008

Summer proceeds, though in smaller chunks than desired. Working five days a week is a bummer, especially when those five days include Friday night, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday. Nevertheless, being trapped inside for five days of the week makes me appreciate all the more those few days off, and soon after waking [...]

A recent trip to Wadsworth Falls

By Justin | May 1, 2008

This past weekend, I took Yelena to Wadsworth Falls. We waded around in the river under the falls, which was difficult due to all the seaweed-algae stuff on the rocks, that made the bed of the river look like a mix of sharp angles and thick, undulating strands of hair. I cut my foot open [...]
