Food
Mobstah Lobstah
Our RV park invites food trucks onto the premises twice a week – Wednesday and Friday. We have sampled several of them and weren’t greatly impressed with either the quality or the value. That all changed on the past Friday when we sampled the fare at the Mobstah Lobstah food truck (byline: “seafood to die … Continue reading
Patriots domination, 2019 edition
The New England Patriots are a perennial winner, with Bill Belicheck and Tom Brady (coach and quarterback) teaming up for 5 championships in the first 18 years of the 21st century. Some people are tiring of their winning ways, making them a Team That Some Love To Hate. So when, a few days ago, the … Continue reading
New Year’s Eve – almost ushering in 2019
We attended the New Year’s Eve party at the resort. 208 people dining on prime rib or chicken, with steamed vegetables and baked potatoes. Cheesecake for dessert. A 5-piece dance band. All cooking and entertainment provided by residents of the park. Jett and I did our part by prepping the baked potatoes. Over 200 potatoes … Continue reading

Dining near Worcester
Yeah, we are in NY now, but I wanted to mention some of the places we ate at – both sit-down and takeout – while we were in Oakham. Because we had two exceptionally good meals and one exceptionally bad meal. I want to tell you about the great meals so that you will patronize … Continue reading
Plymouth by night
On Saturday afternoon I visited Burial Hill again, looking for the elusive grave of Elizabeth Walker Warren, which I did not find. But I encountered some of Jett’s distant relatives who were also searching for her grave. We had a nice chat about her and about genealogy in general. Later my brother Dennis joined me … Continue reading
