I have no comments here. My sole goal is to amplify this. Okay, secondary goal: Town Caucus is March 6 when we nominate people for volunteer roles that are oozing with opportunities for adulation and gratitude (this may be sarcastic). What I know is that we will have open positions on a couple of SUPER IMPORTANT boards so think about
Read moreAre you thinking about a Citizen’s Petition for our upcoming May town meeting? In case you didn’t know because you grew up in a place that didn’t have these, a Citizen’s Petition is defined as an “article brought by a citizen (rather than by a Board or Committee of the Town) to the Town Meeting. Any voter may bring a
Read moreThere are many many MANY jokes the Owl has typed and backspaced this morning about the call for volunteers for the Water Storage Planning Committee. Sadly my California jetlag makes me startlingly unfunny at this hour (5 am west coast) and it’s a slippery slope into silliness. I do think that we need a Naming Committee here in town because
Read moreOkay, seriously now, stop sending me stuff to post. I must pack. Fine, I think I have two more posts and then I am done for now and shall lock my email. Haha, no. First things first. Last week, the Owl was informed by Anthony Senesi, assistant to the Town Manager, that he is leaving the building. What? I’m “arrasada”
Read moreJust a reminder, per request of the Town, to mention one more time that Town Meeting is tonight, May 9 at 7 pm at the Weston High School auditorium. You must be present in-person to vote. As I have said before and will say again, regardless of what happens tonight (or Wednesday if it goes to a second night) and
Read moreThe Owl is taking time out of her usual Wednesday afternoon bon-bon eating and soap opera watching to write about water tanks. Why? Because no one has the budget anymore to put up yard signs which would read “Yes on Water Tanks because I like Showers and Stuff” or “No on Articles 27 and 28 because clearly it is a
Read moreFirst of all, the madness. Why is it 44 degrees on April 25? I am 90% sure it is supposed to be spring–my daffodils and forsythia claim it is so. And yet, here I am under a fleecy blanket with a cat and a dog burrowed in next to me. Also, where are the chipmunks and do they know something
Read moreThe Owl became curious this morning about what’s going on for the agenda of the upcoming Weston Town Meeting on May 9, 2022. The warrant book will soon come in the mail but it’s already up online and there are some surprises…some things that even this 270-degree Owl head rotation did not see coming. And of course, there are some
Read moreOn Monday night, March 21, the hard-working volunteers of our Community Preservation Committee (their charge can be seen here) met with other hard-working volunteers and employees in town to decide which CPC funding requests would move forward to Annual Town Meeting in May. Spoiler alert: Memorial Pool is not one. Two of the seven requests were deferred to await further
Read moreWell, happy Monday, folks, and welcome to the first full day of spring. The Owl has been relatively hoot-free this weekend and yeah, you didn’t miss Sunday Gratitude—there wasn’t one. Think about them beans for a second. If I had felt like writing a gratitude, it would have been to the wood frogs and peepers and red-winged blackbirds who make
