I noticed gathering maple sap this morning that rhythm is not only a key language of the universe, but it's also one that we actively use to shape our experience.

For reasons I'll discuss below, the quote came to my mind this week: “We had to bomb the village to save it.”

Something was texting my consciousness, but more like a feeling, or a pull. It was coming from near my rocking chair, the one I feed the baby in. I looked over—no one there.

Halifriends is our 2nd Annual Music Weekend here on Quill Nook Farm, Halifax, Vermont. It's coming up Saturday, August 17th, and you're invited!

I'm excited to share that we have welcomed new healthy baby boy to Earth!

I'm back from Monday's one-day "veto session" in Montpelier with the following report. If you've been following news headlines about tax hikes, you might find it surprising -- in a good way.

I feel like a walking dad joke today. I've spent my two-year term working every day for Vermonters, and all I've got left is tomorrow's "veto session."

I'll be joining live from the Vermont Public studio at the Latchis in Brattleboro. I'm excited to answer Mikaela's questions and to talk with callers -- maybe you!

The greatest privilege of serving you as State Representative for the past two years has been the opportunity to love my neighbors in three towns by offering you the strongest possible representation in the Legislature.

What do you consider sacred?

Where were you the morning of September 11, 2001?

What makes great things happen? I'd love to hear your formula.

Lots of Vermonters, myself included, (see The cost of education is going up), have been concerned about spiking education costs.

No one likes to be watched or ticketed by anyone, let alone cameras. But with this tool available and proven, is it responsible to our essential highway workers to do nothing?

Today I want to run an experiment.

With all that's difficult, I feel it's more important than ever that we cultivate laughter and celebrate what's working!

I hate letting anyone down. But I did that yesterday with residents disappointed in my education remarks, and I want to address it.

With a third of Vermont school budgets voted down this March, and some of them now voted down multiple times, voters across Vermont are expressing alarm about tax hikes around 20% in some districts. There's a narrative out there that those voters are "sending Montpelier a message."

The Governor has discretion to execute the laws we pass, but how did we get this?

I released the first episode of the Quill Nook Experience... let me check... one year and 364 days ago. Whoa.
