I chaperoned the Grafton Middle School select chorus/jazz band trip to Disney this weekend. They performed at Downtown Disney Sunday and did a fantastic job under the direction of Karen Barkin and Peter Singley. Posted some of these photos over the weekend, but I now have video! Some photos below, but there’s also a Storify…
Jackie O. was in dire need of a bath and pedicure. Luckily, today is dog wash day at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts, so we threw her in the car, prayed she wouldn’t get car sick, and brought her down. Jackie is a former research beagle at Tufts, so the vet students…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJU16RCEFyQ&feature=youtu.be Hey, Grafton! It’s a national trend — people everywhere are dumping buckets of ice water over their heads and challenging their friends to do the same while making a donation to the ALS Association. I was finally hit with the icy chain letter this week and chose to torture my beagle with her own…
This was fun today: Grafton Police participated in the Global Police Tweet A Thon, with officers Tweeting throughout the day from various points in Grafton. Since today also happened to be the day the State Police FINALLY opened up their museum, there were also guest appearances from Mass. State Police here in town. I put…
Good evening, Grafton! (It may be morning when you see this — early post for max exposure; blogging starts in earnest at 7) Welcome to the Grafton Town Meeting liveblog, which will be simulcast on Greater Grafton and The Grafton Villager through the magic of the Internet. Richard Price and I will be liveblogging and…
Hello Grafton! It’s been a very busy semester at Emmanuel College, but the first two classes of Professor Paluzzi-trained journalists have survived several months of live-Tweeting, story writing and always-have-your-camera lectures. They probably heard a little too much about the town of Grafton and city of Lowell in the process, but hey, teach what you…
State Rep. George N. Peterson Jr., R-Grafton, will not be seeking re-election to the post he’s held for more than 20 years. The assistant house minority leader, whose district encompasses Grafton, Upton and Northbridge, joked Saturday, “I have seven grandkids and an RV that is underused. I think I’ll find plenty to do after next…
We were barely out of 2013 when I got the call: 2014 will be the year two classes of college students will be calling me “Professor Paluzzi.” I’ve been hired as an adjunct professor at Emmanuel College in Boston, teaching Intro to Journalism and Writing for Electronic Media. I start Wednesday. I’ve spoken to a…
This has been, quite decidedly, one of the most unusual years of my life. I actually thought the addition of a beagle to the family was going to be the highlight. Being a journalist, I’m in the habit of sending out the old year with a top 10 list. For the past five years, that’s…
It’s Red Sox Rolling Rally Day and I am, hopefully, on Boylston Street right now with my 16-year-old son and 72-year-old father watching a bunch of guys with beards waving from Duck Boats. I promised the kid that I would take him if a championship parade was ever NOT on a school day and today,…
