Peter standing outside Coffee Talk in Wailea, Oahu. He’s balancing his laptop, and his computer connected camera while talking to me on his cellphone. Yes, he could have been talking directly into his laptop, but he thought that might look too strange.

Unsuspecting patrons inside the coffee shop.
My new goal is to have rakkity buy a video camera, connect it to his mini and then, once he’s healthy, to play his racquetball nemesis on a wifi court while I watch.

Rainbow Lake

This year’s destination . A closer map view . We’ve tried twice to walk into Rainbow Lake and both times we’ve failed. This year we won’t fail; we’re flying in with Katahdin Air. .

Diane reminded me that after our first failure to gain access to Rainbow Lake, we decided all we lacked was some kind of device with which to ferry our gear. Hence the birth of our overland transportation carts .


Karen, I don’t know where that photo was taken. Nahmakanta Lake? First Debsconeag? I bet Adam knows.

Selecting A Reader

First, I would have her be beautiful,
and walking carefully up on my poetry
at the loneliest moment of an afternoon,
her hair still damp at the neck
from washing it. She should be wearing
a raincoat, an old one, dirty
from not having money enough for the cleaners.
She will take out her glasses, and there
in the bookstore, she will thumb
over my poems, then put the book back
up on its shelf. She will say to herself,
“For that kind of money, I can get
my raincoat cleaned.” And she will.
