Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

At ye olde HQ, a cozy mess in the parlor. I like it. We ain't got no other "family room."

Looks like my Daughter-in-Law's living room - two families on Christmas morning just can't be beat.

Can you please not link to something that requires a log in! At least without letting people know. I have been a reader for many, many years. That's my only complaint about your site.

No fire in the fireplace? Oh, I had a chair like t he yellow-green one but my wife made me "lose" it!

You would think, with all your working out you would have had that room tidied up!

Love it! Piano, books and comfortable chairs and rugs. Knowing what you have written in the past, I know the place was filled with happy, laughing, loving people and joyful dogs. What a lucky man you are.

Yes, I would say so too.

I noticed this room from last year wherby your Christmas Tree is in the centre of the room away from the walls.
I thought that this might be a fire prevention issue, but it does look good away from the walls.

I guess so.
