Greater Grafton Blog

Over the last couple of weeks I've been paying more and more attention to the Greater Grafton Blog.

I lived in Grafton from 1956 through 1977, so things that happen in that town are of interest to me. I usually head out to Grafton on Friday evenings to visit with some friends I grew up with. My brother and my mother still live in Grafton. Whenever I see the name of the town, it catches my attention.

Grafton is just in me...

A couple of weeks ago, Jenn posted some bad news and then, amongst subsequent mentions, some of the fallout from being laid off from the Milford Daily News.

From what I've been reading since she started this blog back in April, writing for a living is incidental to simply writing... here's someone who will be writing, now matter what. If the muse insists, then the writer cannot sleep until the muse is satisfied... AND she's raising two kids!

If you have any connection to Grafton, Massachusetts, I can tell you that the Grafton News now has some serious competition!

Jeff, you kind of summed it up -- if I don't write, the words just kind of seep out. At the moment, though, I don't think of the blog as a replacement for the Grafton News -- more like a tasty side dish.

Had I realized the Grafton connection, I would have added you to the blogroll ages ago!

Yep, I'm a GHS class of '67 guy.
