Frost heaves are natural phenomena that result from the freeze-thaw cycle of water and its impact upon surrounding objects. A variation of the same, the Vermont Frost Heaves are the professional basketball team from Vermont, playing as part of the newly-reformed American Basketball Association (the one with the red, white, and blue ball--remember when Julius Erving played for the New York Nets before the ABA/NBA merger and their move to New Jersey? No, you probably hadn't been born yet.). But I digress...

My name is Ben Frost (not the avant-garde Australian artist of the same name who is nonetheless very interesting). I presently live in Milford, New Hampshire, a small town that more resembles Bedford Falls of "It's a Wonderful Life" than it does a postcard perfect New England village. My Aussie self would go mad here, but I'm content.

Besides my highly demanding family, my interests include geography, which I teach as an adjunct professor at Southern New Hampshire University; law, which I also teach at SNHU and on which I spent three years and $80,000 at Cornell in the belief that I was learning (only to find that law school doesn't really prepare you to be a lawyer--but the letters after my name are nice); and hiking in the mountains of New Hampshire. My professional life is devoted to slaying underworld demons and working to ensure that everyone has a decent place to live.
