And So It Goes…
1 December 2019 It’s done. The era is over. We sold our TreeHouse on the 25th of November 2019. We owned that house for 31 years, 1 month, 10 days (11,393 days), almost half our lives. It’s now someone else’s … Continue reading
Changes Are Afoot…
6 June 2019 Boy are they ever! It’s been ten months since the last TreeHouse blog entry, but we have NOT been idle. Construction was delayed a few months on the Maine house renovation by an AWOL excavator (plan was … Continue reading
Mid-August Update…
8 August 2018 It’s been a quiet summer at the TreeHouse so far. Not a lot of exciting info to report. Gene’s retirement date has been announced at MITRE: late January 2019. Lynn and I have been working with that … Continue reading

Where Does the Time Go…?
Let’s see… 19 August 2016 to 4 March 2017… that’s over six months; 28 weeks and a day; 197 days. Definitely shirking my blogging duties here. Lots of water (and snow!) under the bridge in 197 days. We had to cancel … Continue reading
It’s Been a Brutal Summer…
19 August 2016 It’s been a miserable summer at the TreeHouse – hot, sticky, muggy, but little or no rain, so we’re officially in an “extreme drought” northeast of Boston, and our lawn looks like it! We’ve sworn off pouring … Continue reading
Global Strangeness
The weather in these parts had a number of wrong-season affectations leading up to the present. We had eight inches of snow arrive before Halloween, then weeks of 60+ degree temperatures into December. I was mowing the lawn well into November, … Continue reading
A Wonderful Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving 2010 was a wonderful day at the VOGT Family TreeHouse. We hosted the feast at our Woburn home, considering briefly the idea of hosting Thanksgiving at the Ballot Box in Newcastle Maine (with the strains of Over the River … Continue reading
