Read moreYes, we’ve made another trip around the sun, arriving back at Hedgehog Day, aka Groundhog Day. If you’ve been a reader for a while, you will know that Weston does not celebrate Groundhog Day per se, but rather Hedgehog Day like the good Loyalists we are.

Our local police officers will be reading stories, explaining their jobs and according to the marketing materials, bringing a police cruiser inside the Storytime Room. Umm…what? No, not the latter. Apparently, K9 Officer Knox will not be putting in an appearance which quite

Read moreMamaleh’s, the Weston Owl’s official source of lox and bagel, is heading into the wilds of Weston tomorrow, January 26, for their suburban drop-off. For some reason, they keep terming this as a “pickup,” but I’m thinking it’s more a dropoff–like drop off that yumminess right into the backseat of my car. Why yes, it does feel a little like
