Posted by “Claudia Snell” on IFW.CLAUDIASNELL.COM: Yes, there is an actual Dr. Gonzo, (real name is: J Stuart Esty) and he’s a very awesome guy. That’s him in the photo I took during the recent stART – Spring Edition art festival. Dr. Gonzo had many hilarious jokes, great stories and nice words of encouragement for my daughter. He was a wonderful host (yes, host – you don’t just shop at the emporium, you have an experience). We’re looking forward to the next visit to the Emporium. Worcester is lucky to have a guy like this and a place like this. It’s one of the things that makes Worcester awesome. Posted by “Pink Granite” on PINKGRANITE. BLOGSPOT.COM: Film Critic Roger Ebert has been through hell and back. But he still publishes at The Chicago Sun-Times and he has a blog. He also Tweets up a storm and is definitely worth following. His topics are wide ranging; his comments witty, pithy and an excellent match for the 140 character limit of Twitter.
Posted by “Wally Hersee” on STURBRIDGECOMMON.COM: Now, I am not any more absent minded than I have been my entire life. When I have something on my mind, it doesn’t make room for things that were already there, or should be added. Lists are important to me. Always have been. They are a good way to stay ahead of creditors, family birthdays, vacation plans, and on top of projects around the house. When we first moved into this old house I kept a running list, and accomplished a great deal of items on those lists, but for some reason over the past year, I got away from that age old practice.
know it was coming. Hopper was one of those rare celebrities who actually lived in Los Angeles, who took an interest in its affairs and happenings.

spill on land is easier to deal with than one in the ocean. The risk of a spill is even higher in the ocean because the drilling rig sits about a mile above the ocean floor where the actual drilling is occurring.
Posted by “Joan Gage” on AROLLINGCRONE.BLOGSPOT.COM: People can be divided into those who like to sleep late on Saturday morning and maybe go to church or golf on Sunday, and those who are on the road at 8 a.m. both days, clutching the newspaper classified section, searching for flea markets and yard sales, determined to be the first one through the gate. Guess which category I’m in. Those of us with “I brake for yard sales” bumper stickers are motivated by tales of life-changing finds—an original copy of the Declaration of Independence or a Paul Revere tea pot from grandma’s attic, or those Jackson Pollack paintings someone found in the trash. Every yard saler has a tale of the Big Find.
ocean drilling or oil drilling in the middle of the continent. Sure oil drilling in the middle of the continent has less risk, since a broken pipe will only cause a big puddle of oil that might catch fire. And that’s the point of my post here. Risk. I don’t have a problem with the drilling because I’ve thought about Posted by “frogcooke” on TWITTER.COM: the risk. I certainly wasn’t chanting Thank you Wings Over Worcester for Posted by “Victor Infante” on OCVICTOR. leaving a menu on my door. I like you LIVEJOURNAL.COM: I was saddened some inane drivel about drilling and wouldn’t. Here’s the deal. The biggest but cannot eat you.
