Neat

I got the John Adams DVD for Christmas. Boston, at the time, had a population of 16,000.

Giddy Up

According to UPS tracking, my power cord and battery left Redmond, Wash. on Dec. 31 and arrived in Chelmsford last night.

I had no idea the Pony Express was still in operation.

Happy New Year

I'm still alive, but my laptop lies in a coma until a new battery arrives.

Pray for it, Tommy. You too Janie.

Tom Salemi's Background

I lived and worked up here in 1990s. Life and career led me away for a while but I’m very thankful both allowed me to return. A little background, I grew up in Revere. Went to BU. Worked as a reporter at a few newspapers before landing at The Daily News. I moved on from here. I married quite well, and we have two great kids. I kept writing. No more fires or city council meetings. Now I write for a magazine. It's interesting stuff, but I still have a hankering to write about this place. So I do. I also sit on the Newburyport Redevelopment Authority.
