Some random thoughts while I wonder how Susanna Hoffs is looking these days …
Sorry Sondra, the song is just sticking in my head.
The news whispers like the wind around the Merrimack Valley. All sides, remember I have nothing to do with this other than report the rumor. Do not ATTACK me.

1. The countdown to Central Catholic-Billerica has officially begun. Yes, those two don’t play for two weeks, but the MVC large has thing to two teams with Andover’s loss to Dracut. The Raiders and Indians are on a collision course.
2. Let’s say this about Central, the Raiders are resilient. Facing adversity, Central rallied like the [...]
