Hello Monday,

I spent last week talking about three great events which I never got to this weekend! I am glad there was some good weather for the Festival of the Hills in Conway, the Northfield 350th Parade and the North Quabbin Garlic Festival. I stayed in the Live Free or Die state all weekend and that was OK.

Friday night was instillation night for my local Kiwanis Club.

Evidently, I am doing some things right. My club installed me as president for another year. Also, I had my first turkey dinner of many this autumn.

Saturday I was able to catch Connor’s soccer game at Keene High School.

This was the first one that I have been able to attend. I have been coaching a separate team at the same time that he has practices and/or games. Although Connor has numerous disadvantages because of his size, I could tell he has improved as a player and is helping the team. I am a proud Dad!

Yesterday was October 1st.

I like pumpkin spice. I don’t like it in August or even September. My own silly rule is to wait until October 1st to enjoy it now and again in my morning coffee.

Welcome to October everyone!

I hope you had a great weekend!

Kevin
