In my spare time, I listen to music (I have a large CD and vinyl record library). I walk, and I work out at the gym. I enjoy books with cool characters and clever plotlines (Stephen King, for example). And, I'm turning my dirtbike into an on-road motorcycle. So look out, here I come! Feel free to visit The Night Shift's Facebook page for lots of album covers and other cool stuff as a companion to the show.

I miss the Classic Cars in Somerville
Friday night was a nice summer night...and, I actually had a little spare time.
What to do...for fun?
I wanted to "cruise" Main Street in Somerville.
Check out the classic cars, maybe bump into a few friends, and grab a bite to eat...

‘Old Glory’ flies in Craig Allen’s neighborhood
Happy Birthday, America.
I write quite a bit about my neighborhood here at nj1015.com...from the tractor race, to the friendly Christmas lights competition, there's always something going on.
I have great neighbors.
And, while COVID-19 is having its effects on "4th of July" celebrations...
