Adam and I have been writing about past camping trips that we will add to the mainecourse.com site. As soon as the image map on the places.html page is updated, this one,which I recently finished, will be linked. Tomorrow I’ll post photos from the part of the job Susan might be most interested in, the […]
Sounds Like I’ve known Hung for sixteen of the twenty years he’s been in the US. He has four children, lives in Dorchester and owns three houses. He works hard now, but worked much harder when he lived in Vietnam or as he calls it, “My country.†For twelve of those years I called him […]
“You’re driving like an idiot.†Dad’s spontaneous, oh so helpful outburst as Matthew slows at a corner to keep the Mazda on four wheels, but treats the stop sign like it’s a green flag at the Indianapolis 500. I had already kept my mouth shut when he stopped on the crosswalk at the first traffic […]
My marriage is a cooperative blend of individual talents. Or survival instincts. I cut the grass; Diane makes sure Matt does his homework. I clean the basement; Diane pays the bills. Once a month or so, I wash DianeÃs car, every night she makes dinner. I sleep late, Diane executes every last detail of all […]

I had asked him the same question an hour earlier. Diane followed with, “Are […]
Adam finished many a niggling detail, from the worst areas of ceiling blue board, to the metal corner bead, web taped seams and even the critical floor area that connects the addition to the kitchen. All done with his meticulous attention to detail. Now we wait for Bob Farrell of Lancaster (many of the wedding […]
I called Jeffrey in Evansville to ask him if he thought the BMW would make the twelve mile drive to Minuteman High School in Lexington. He didn’t hesitate to say yes, but added, “When you shift into the higher gears, give it gas slowly, the clutch slips.†With Robby and Joe in the back seat, […]
