Although it seems impossible that it’s already time for a July 4th picnic and local fireworks, the holiday is now upon us, come grey skies or blue (here’s hoping for BLUE!). As we celebrate Independence Day and all the liberties we are so lucky to call “certain inalienable rights”, we might want to take a minute to also think about the interdependence that has been woven into the fabric of our...

The meetings for this charitable organization are held at our Calcagni Hamden office. Our hard-working, hammer-wielding crew, spent the day framing walls that will later be used on the site.

We can’t escape the news headlines. The casualties from our ailing economy are all around us - companies are closing, workers are losing their jobs and foreclosure rates are on the rise. As a result, many pet owners have been forced to give up their beloved family pets because they can no longer afford to keep them, or because their new housing accommodations will not allow pets. I have been...

This summer, I'm really looking forward to delving into some books that have come highly recommended from dear friends of mine. These avid...
