But what with school and work I haven’t had much time for blogging.  But things are lightening up again and I do want to have my say about NH and also to put down in writing some of the thoughts I’ve had which should help my friends who read this and are visiting in the region.

Howdy There, and Welcome to My New Hampshire Guide

Friday, June 8th, 2007

Howdy, I reckon you’re here looking for a bit of information about the great state of New Hampshire. Well, you’ve come to the right place, as I have lived in the great “Granite State” my entire life. First, before I get started, I want to take a minute and introduce myself and tell you how this site came about.

My name is Jon Watson and I’m a resident of the very quaint town of Plymouth, New Hampshire. I am happily married to Stacey (Smith) Watson, and we both love to talk long and peaceful walks along Plymouth and the beautiful Plymouth State University campus. We’ve been happily married for thirteen years and have two children.
