From the Rutland Herald’s Poultney superintendent departs amid feud: “The relationship between the Poultney School District and its superintendent is so frayed there’s a chance the state troopers might be called on to escort [her] from the town’s high school graduation ceremonies today.”
From Erin & Lindsay’s Colby is here!: “As I got to the bathroom, I decided it might be best to sit on the toilet with the trash in my lap as other ‘rumblings’ seemed to be starting. I did ‘get sick’ but everything was fairly mild - nothing like the castor oil horror stories I’d [...]

As I mentioned last week, we’ve moved into our new apartment, and since I know you all hate the thought of me being in a new apartment without you having any conception of what that apartment may look like, I’ve gone and done you the favor of taking some pics of the new place.

Well, we’re in the new place. Boxes are everywhere. Dawn’s going to town in the kitchen.
