We are beyond peak and have been hit with some heavy winds that took a lot of leaves but we still had some good views during the hike.

Been waiting for Chism to show what he has.

"Snag of the year, man." Efton Chism wasn’t expected to be a focal point of the Patriots offense in Buffalo, but when Mack Hollins departed with a calf injury, the second-year wideout’s snap count increased. Chism rose to the occasion. www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

Rachel Entrekin just won the Cocodona 250-mile race in Arizona, beating all males and females. A superhuman effort ignored by the U.S. media, because American culture has a long history of overlooking the achievements of women and minorities when they outperform men. Congratulations, Rachel.

Goodell's tenure has been defined by a series of high-profile failures. His mishandling of domestic abuse cases, officiating has declined steadily, and now the handling of female officials reflects poorly on the NFL as a whole. He needs to retire. www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-n...

It’s remarkable that this war traces back years to when this administration dismantled a functioning peace agreement simply because it had been negotiated under Obama. The lives lost yesterday and today are, in part, the result of a president unwilling to accept the success of his predecessor.

This made me ugly cry 😭 I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another. But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty 😔

Made the most of the beautiful day at Mount Van Hoevenberg with some cross-country skiing before the Empire State Games roll in this weekend.

Why does it always seem like NBA coaches are the ones willing to speak on issues beyond basketball and show real compassion? They feel like a different breed compared to coaches in other sports. #NBA

Loved this article about what happened after the Pats game. It was a nice, temporary distraction from the insanity in this country and from people needlessly dying because of an out-of-control government. #Patriots www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

I remember listening to “Your Love” by The Outfield when I was younger and never thinking much of it, but it’s always a fun to sing along to at a Patriots game. Had a blast seeing Drake in his first playoff game. #Patriots

I’ve never thought of myself as a sentimental person, but it was always nice to see a president do things like this and watch the kids and adults genuinely enjoy it.

Well, while Trump has been posting about scumbags and liberal sleazebags and starting a war in Nigeria — Obama went to a hospital — visiting patients, handing out gifts and thanking the staff for all they do every day. 🎅🏿 ❤️ 🐐

Guess the Pats don't have to game plan for him now. #patriots

Bengals star WR Ja’Marr Chase was suspended one game by the NFL, which determined that Chase spit on Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey, who was ejected on Sunday.

This article made me laugh. The last time the Pats did this was back in 2002, and it didn’t go quite as planned with reintroducing the introductions yesterday. I’ve always liked the team introduction, but since they’re winning, I don’t really mind the change. #patriots www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
