    When I was young, the machinations of government fascinated me. Maybe it was a side effect of growing up around Washington, DC, but for years, I had a profound attraction to watching committee hearings on C-SPAN.  When I was 16, I had a summer job on Capitol Hill in which I drafted speeches for the Congressman who headed the Subcommittee on Natural Resources, Agriculture Research, and the Environment.  What I had to say about agriculture research is a mystery too deep for this particular column.

    Mitch TeichNorth Words: This is not just a ghost story. The Lady in the Lake of Lake Placid was real.

I worked there in 1983.

    Mitch TeichNorth Words: this spy novel is inspired by the Miracle on IceWhile Lake Placid’s hopes of hosting the sliding events in next year’s Winter Olympics appear to be over, the evidence of the 1980 Winter Games is practically everywhere you turn in the village. The ski jumps tower over the small town, skiers and speed skaters still make yearly pilgrimages, and Lake Placid has again become a regular stop on the world tour for many winter sports.

    It’s a challenging column day in the North Words Community Writing Bunker and Donut Shoppe.  As you might have surmised from the blitz of Mother's Day mattress sales, social media posts, and Special Offers Sent Directly To Your App (some restrictions apply), it’s Mother's Day. And there are a few important moms in my life who deserve to be recognized for their contributions the world.
