When you least expect it, you get bushwhacked and like bam! Lola Nicole Falzarano turns nine! The little girl with a smile that has lit up stages, the little girl with a zest for life that is downright contagious, and a personality of a superstar in the making. My sweet, adorable little tow-headed granddaughter is one step closer to growing up, one step closer to shedding the last vestiges of that little girl who, as a three- and fouryear-old, would dance like it’s Law Offices of Terrence W.

Lola has brought much joy into my life. The happiness she has given me? Forgetaboutit! I cannot conceive of life without a Lola Nicole Falzarano in it. I am looking forward to the next place this wonderful world takes us together, Lola. “Time may fl y over us (dear Lola) but it is defi - nitely leaving its shadow behind.”—Nathaniel Hawthorne (paraphrased). As some may have noticed, I no longer write for the Malden Observer. “Malden Musings” was unceremoniously put out to pasture in mid-June. The sad news came via email by a very nice person named Katie. She expressed her regret at having to be the bearer of bad news.

The death knell of print media continues I thought to myself. Such is life. September 2022 would have marked 15 years of “Malden Musings.” The column began with gentlemen like Bill Mini, Don Squires and John O’Brien in mind. I was a fanboy of those three local print media icons when they were writing for the various papers way back when. I loved and respected their knowledge, wisdom and passion.

He was an avid newspaper reader, from the respected (Boston Globe, NY Times), to gossipy tabloids (NY Post), to the center/right (Boston Herald). A self-taught man, he would also devour magazines, such as Newsweek, Life, Playboy (for the articles of course) and Time. He consumed it all and sorted the truth out all by himself – what most people did prior to the 24-hour news/opinion brainwashing cycle beginning. I got the bug fi rst by reading the sports page, eventually progressing to the op-ed pages. His education, as well as mine, was greatly enhanced by our love of print media. I have no formal training besides writing a “newsletter” back in the 8th grade at Beebe Jr. High School called “The 8-7 Times,” the “8” standing for the 8th grade and the “7” standing for those students who were not trying very hard in their scholastic pursuits.
