Oh and yes we can't forget the best skiing anywhere. As you read this book you'll have a chance to laugh, maybe to cry, but most importantly to feel like you're a part of the trip. All ... On Vermont Time ... Here's what others have said about On Vermont Time ... Timothy Stetson has done something truly remarkable here. He has taken regional writing and brought it into sharper focus, creating an anthology that could almost be called Neighborhood Writing. Here we find an intimacy and appreciation of place that could only be expressed by insiders: real small town Vermonters. -- Joseph A. Citro, author of Green Mountains, Dark Tales and Passing Strange Your essays are like love letters to Vermont ... -- Lesli Blount, Williston, VT
