Okay, so if anyone didn’t notice we haven’t had much snow this year, I surmise you are in your Florida half-time residence. The Owl is cranky about the situation as she has gotten to Nordic (cross-country) ski ONCE. Folks, I live in the dark north for one reason only: trail skiing. Making reservations for New Hampshire because Weston is now

Read moreThe Owl is going to try incredibly hard not to adopt a cowboy twang but Boosters is making it hard. This year’s Boosters Bash (aka fundraising yee-haw) is titled “Wild Wild Weston.” All attendees will be issued lassos and spurs, the former to rustle up the rats currently invading the Weston Transfer station (transport buses leave at 8 and 10)

From Little League to BAYS to Weston Soccer, Lacrosse and Football, you can’t avoid at least one Go ‘cats! a week. So here is

We have no fewer than 28 games and matches and mushings taking place this week. While
Read moreYowza, the calendar is heating up with league games against lots of Ws this week. Golf is first up today against Westford, and then takes on Bedford on Tuesday.
