It's been a pretty good summer in Central Me.

My lawn is still green and growing. Veggies are incredible. Today was the best day of summer. Hot, but low humidity. From 4 - 8 it was glorious. Sun with occasional clouds to cool things down.

I was in Providence last week and have a couple more trips there. At least three more trips to the Portland area, in addition to trips to Connecticut. I ended up with the northeast and not the mid Atlantic. Oh well, I spent 20 years in CT!

job sites, except for the time I drove there from Hartford with my then GF to a comedy club and stayed with her friends or a night in 1984.

First time in Portland and there was a big thunderstorm that went thru shortly after I got here. I have a list of places I want to check out for seafood the next time I am here.

for a few days around Columbus Day weekend. Been going there since childhood. I hope Covid hasn't changed it any. It's very dog friendly!
