Below Zero Greetings from the Granite State!

OK ... I was wrong about the Patriots ...

But speaking of snow and cold, I'll paste a photo from Norway, from March 1993, in honor of a real American hero ...

Weirs Times Sports Columnist Mike Moffett, a veteran of 1991’s Operation Desert Storm connected with the late General  H. Norman Schwarzkopf in 1993 above the Arctic Circle in Norway, where then-Captain Moffett was participating in Operation Battle Griffin, an Arctic warfare exercise.  Schwarzkopf had recently retired from the army and was in Norway for CBS-TV Sports. Video footage of Moffett’s men training in the snow aired the next year as part of CBS Sports coverage of the Olympic Biathlon at the Lillehammer (Norway) Winter Olympics. Schwarzkopf passed away at the age of 78 on Dec. 27 in Tampa, Florida.

Happy New Year!

Where's the snow? 

OK, I know it's coming ...

So are the Patriots ... They should beat Baltimore in Foxboro on Sunday to get to ANOTHER Super Bowl ... one that they should win this time.  They had those last minute leads against the Giants in 2008 and 2012. They could easily be going for theit SIXTH Super Win in ten years ...

Anyway, speaking of Patriots, my friend Fahim Fazli, the Afghan-American interpreter with the Marines, recently got a call asking if he'd be available to go to China with Robert Downey Jr. to film "IRONMAN 3."  Hope it works out.  Check out Fahim in Ben Affleck's movie "ARGO," which won a Golden Globe and is also an Oscar candidate.

I recently did an interview with Denise-Marie McIntosh that's running this week on Nashua Cable television - an in-depth 50 minute interview on our award-winning book FAHIM SPEAKS.

Check it out!

I'll also be doing an interview on Military Moms radio on Feb. 4.

More/better/later!

(Hope is snows/snows/snows in Foxboro Sunday ... Go Patriots)
