“The Hour is that moment every day when you are most at peace and in balance ... unflustered by that guy who cut the line at Dunkin and took the last glaze munchkin, surprisingly entertained to learn you have the kid who skates like Thumper because, well, at least it rules out 5am hockey practice. It's when you are comfortable enough singing Britney Spears' "Oops I Did It Again" in a brave, if not off-key falsetto with the windows down when dropping off your teenage daughter at school....or when you are human and calm when your son tells you he's scared because he's not who you think he is...it's that time when you're the least influenced by what you see, what you hear and what you know…when your behavior, your mood and your spirit are perfect. For some it’s halfway through a jog in a light rain or at 4 o’clock on a Friday. For me it's usually about 8am on holiday when the kids are singing old Journey songs, the lab is eating the uncooked flapjacks and the coffee is ready, but I'll admit my "hour" changes as often as the weather in New England.” - Bryan Cote
