Vermont Maple Syrup – 2023!

by | Feb 17, 2023 | 8 comments

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 friends and family in New England.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the Southwest.

The family who purchased the farm were interested in finding someone to keep up the tradition of making Maple Syrup (They are wonderful people). After thinking about it for a fraction of a second, Hank and I agreed that we would run the Sugar House the same as always, sharing the small batch farm crop with families and friends.

So, against all odds, and with much gratitude to my higher power and all of you… We have begun making Vermont Gold this past week.

And yes, the Bob and Lisa Maple Syrup Store is now open and taking orders. This is not your mass produced syrup (which ain’t bad – you can find it cheaper in Costco). Hank and I boil this the old fashioned way, in small batches. We tap 400 trees. When the nights get below freezing, and the days are warm, the sap flows. For about 5 or 6 weeks it gets crazy. Then we bottle it, package it, and drive the boxes to the Springfield VT Post Office to send to you.

As always, we are grateful for your support, and happy to still be a small part of your morning. And during the next few weeks, don’t be too surprised if the podcast comes to you live from the Sugar House.

Every Day Is A Gift,

Bob

A random email from a Twisted Tunes fan a few years ago has evolved into a personal friendship with one of the most interesting, entertaining, and intelligent people I have ever met. That says a lot, when you consider that for close to 40 years, people have been bringing me interesting, entertaining and intelligent people to talk to every day of the week. That was our job. Michael "Misha" Shengaout (we'll just call him by his artist name Misha), emailed me out of nowhere saying that he was a big fan of mine and wondered if he could meet whoever I was working with to [...]

Bob Rivers and Steve Stockman dig in with a very interesting scientist. Dan Ariely is a Professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University. has been one of our favorite guests and authors since 2008, when he wrote “Predicably Irrational”. His latest book is called: Misbelief: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things? Once you understand this, it can change your life. You might even have more empathy for those who think differently than you do. Just might. Would that be so terrible? I know, sounds like it’s about politics. It sort of is, in that it uses Left and Right examples a lot. [...]

If you love The Grateful Dead, Cannabis, and Psychedelic experiences, you should enjoy Bob, Ed, and Andrew talking about what may be the Greatest Concert On Earth. I talked my son Andrew into a Dead and Company Show at the Sphere last week. Now we are both Deadheads, and I have purchased tickets to 3 more upcoming shows. In all that amounts to 16 1/2 hours of seeing a band I was never that interested in. Big Surprises: How “Young” the audience is. This is not a Classic Rock show. The cult like following includes young (and very attractive) modern day hippies. John Mayer is [...]
