While We Are Away

Check out BGA Overtime for a story that went up last night on Owen Zalc, the Dartmouth placekicker who is in a very good place mentally and physically this year after a trying junior season.

While we're out of town, the Big Green has a day of R&R on tap today at Storrs Pond, the local recreation area. Kayaking, swimming, volleyball, spike ball, wiffleball and a lot more will fill the afternoon as the players enjoy a break from football.

The team will be back on the field tomorrow and Monday before we return. While we are visiting That Certain Dartmouth '14 and That Certain Fellow there will still be content on the OT so be sure to stop by.

We had a nice drive over back roads from our Vermont hillside home to Bar Harbor. While we were That Certain Nittany Lion '16 shared this photo of Griff the Wonder Dog, who he is watching while we are away and it's such a nice shot I had to include it this morning.


We'll be doing some exploring around Acadia National Park today. We had a chance yesterday to walk across the "bar" that gives Bar Harbor its name. Here's a look from a vantage point on the far side of the bar, and from just above it.
