Olympic Dreams
If any of the young skaters who grace the ice at The Dorothy M. Talbot Rink have any Olympic ambitions, it is pretty cool to have Ben (Punky) Smith watching from the stands!
Thatcher and Finn, knowing he is my husband’s Godfather, have read the plaques that pay tribute to his pretty fantastic Olympic Coaching career many times and were pretty smitten to see him at last week’s Gloucester High School game.
Thatcher was beyond happy to hear him say, “Your son looked pretty good out there” after his team skated at intermission.
Benjamin A. Smith, III was able to lead the United States Women’s Hockey team to a Gold Medal in 1998, a Medal in 2002, and a Bronze Medal in 2006. His 1998 Olympic Team went on to be inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame.

GMG Electricity and Alternative Energy Series: ATTTENTION- It’s Time To Renew Your Plan If You Opted For A Six Month Plan
Last winter I shared what my plan for my mom’s electricity supplier was. At the time the best option IMO was Think Energy. If you signed up and locked in congratulations, you saved a bunch of money over National Grid’s variable pricing plan which generally spikes way up in the winter due to there not being enough power plants in the northeast to create power and National Grid having to go out and bid in the open market for electricity.
Anyway, I signed my mom up for a six month plan and it was up about a month ago.
This is just a reminder for anyone else who did what we did to contact Think Energy and either resign with them or lock in with another supplier so you aren’t at the mercy of National Grid.
It takes all of a few minutes to do
Here’s the number for Think Energy- 1-866-252-0078
Here’s Direct Energy- 888-305-3828
Call both, get the best rate and if you want, lock in for 6-12 months.
I have no idea about where electricity prices will go but I know if you’re at the mercy of a variable pricing plan you could be paying way more in the winter months.
I’m locking in like we did last year.
JUST BE AWARE THAT IF YOU DO NOTHING AND YOUR TERM EXPIRES FROM LAST YEAR WHEN YOU LOCKED IN, THEN YOU”RE PROBABLY BACK AT THE MERCY OF NATIONAL GRID.
SO CALL AND EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS!
Just lookin out for my peeps. I have no vested interest other than to make sure you are aware.

Do you believe in ‘Old Wives Tales’?
When I get a cold I will do ANYTHING to get better FAST! I literally have had 5 colds in the past 20 years. I have an immune system of steel!
So I heard the old wives’ tale of putting a peeled onion in a bowl in your room and it absorbs bacteria.
Have you heard this?
