Tom Moroney is host of a show on Bloomberg Radio called Simply Put. Prior to that he was a newspaper columnist. Kudos to Tom for succeeding in the two businesses I tried, but gave up! By chance Tom lives not far from here, and we cross paths every so often. My sister Jean and I went to high school with Tom. We were all in the drama club, along with a remarkable woman named Noreen Barnes, a dear friend who is now a college professor in Virginia. Here’s a picture of Tom and Noreen in a high school play together. I don’t want to say how long ago this was!
Tom Moroney is up in New Hampshire right now, covering the Presidential primary. The surprise news at the moment is that Hillary Clinton is holding a lead over Barack Obama. Here’s a brief clip of Tom on the radio tonight.

The demographics in Acton, MA now boasts a significant Asian population. I suppose that’s what comes from having a school system with such a good reputation. But as we have learned, Acton native Steve Carell didn’t attend Acton-Boxboro Regional High School.
Yeah, there are a lot of success stories out of Acton, all right. Gosh I miss Noreen and those guys.
