I know that many of you have arrived here today upon hearing the heartbreaking news of Bob Rivers' passing. Like you, I am still processing this sad loss, and at the moment, I find myself without the right words. Bob was more than a broadcaster—he was a mentor, a...
When you find yourself staring down the barrel of a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, naturally, one of the first questions that pops into your mind is: How long am I going to live? We all know that mortality is part of the deal. It’s just easier to accept that part and not...
Our new House Mate. In some ways, a lot has happened since our last update. I just finished chemo #2 here in Vermont. And my particular type of adenocarcinoma is growing so slow as to be considered “Stable”, so we’re all feeling great about doing some live...
First, I want to thank you all for your support and well wishes over the years. I very much appreciate it. It means more to me than you know. And hearty thanks to all who have supported my venture into making and selling Bob & Lisa's Maple Syrup. We're in our 10th...

I have missed you… it does seem I enjoy the recorded live conversation more than writing. Writing is hard, and I'm always second guessing and even 37th guessing myself. So I'll keep this brief and hit "send' before I have time to think about it. I'm a little bummed...
Sweet People, A year ago, I wasn't sure I'd be around. Lisa and I moved to Las Vegas to be closer to family, take desert walks in the sunshine, see every great concert we could, and deal with a serious health challenge. We said goodbye to the farm, and farewell to...
As many of you know, 2022 has been a challenging year with lots of changes. During maple syrup season, I kept my health challenges private.
