You are never alone, not ever.
Lying in the sand of the vast Arabian Desert one night, his vehicle wrecked, the 23-year-old soldier could have used the comfort. He had never been so far from home. He had never felt so uncertain. Still, amid the darkness, he imagined something better. It was a traumatic time but also a turning point, he said. I internalized the fact that life is short, and I promised to make the most of mine.
He promised to become a writer.
Thirty years after Operation Desert Storm brought him to Iraq with the U.S. Army, the Somerset father of four has fulfilled his promise again and again. He is not only a writer, but the published author of about two-dozen books, among them award winners and popular sellers.

WESTPORT A boat landing adjacent to Gooseberry Island last summer was stripped of its status as the only free, town-owned boat landing in town. Selectmen are now mulling over whether it should remain that way.
Selectmen at last week’s meeting were joined by Beach Committee members and Landing Commissioners to review whether the landing should be available only as parking for townspeople with parking passes. The landing is located on East Beach Road.
Among other options, selectmen are mulling over whether paid parking there should be seasonal or year-round. The issue might be voted on at the Jan 19 meeting, after selectmen and other authorities conduct more research on the matter.

Looking for fresh air, exercise or to learn more about the natural world around you? If yes, join Lloyd Center for the Environment s Research Director Mark Mello for this annual tradition and celebrate the New Year with a peaceful walk on Gooseberry Neck beach.
The Lloyd Center’s New Year’s Day Beach Walk will take place on New Year s Day, this Friday, from 10 am – 12 noon. Focusing on coastal ecology and bird identification, Mark will identify winter waterfowl and ‘washed up’ marine life. January is a wonderful time of year to walk the coast and observe the effects of wave action on the slope and shape of the beach. This is a very informal outing, and those that simply want to walk are more than welcome.
