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. Nearly every city and town has its legends - myths and ghost stories that have been passed down over generations around campfires. Some of them are just tall tales, either outright fiction or a distortion of things that happened decades or centuries ago. But some of them started with a true and tragic story.

Another year has gone by without any offers to deliver a commencement address. Not even at a preschool. It's either a deliberate slight or an unfortunate oversight. Either way, you the reader are the beneficiary, as I hereby inflict these thoughts on you:Until this past Thursday, the last time I had been in the Russell Senate Office Building was when I worked there. 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.

Dropping by this space to pass along a link to my BBC World Service debut, on this program (programme!) about airports: https://t.co/6Sninx3ZFL Many thanks to producer @DamascusRose for the interview. (Next stop, the Shipping Forecast?)

This is a real thing we purchased for our dogs (while we were in Canada, of course). https://t.co/nDj2VIjfAU

Hey, North Country folk - the snow has mostly stopped up here. Make a trip out to @SUNYCantonNews this evening to watch Rob Kugler and I talk about his moving memoir, "A Dog Named Beautiful."

Tonight's guest author @robkugler made a stop in our Dog Floor to meet with some lucky students who live with their besties on campus. Rob will speak at 6:30 p.m. in the Kingston theater. Free, open to the public, and recommended to anyone who ♥️s dogs! https://t.co/yYbII8loOa
