Mid-vacation

Having a good time toodling around Maine with classicaljunkie. Keeping at it through Wednesday. We're in Portland now; yell if there's anything you think we should see. (Plans are to go gape at the Shipyard brewery and run around the downtown shoppy places.)

I was offline from Friday night on because of a lengthy power outage in my neighborhood followed by two days visiting places where there was hardly cellphone coverage, let alone wifi to leech off. During this dark period I diligently updated an enormous entry about what we did, mostly about the food we ate. I sympathize that you cannot wait to know whether we went for the pumkpin pie or the blueberry at Dysart's, but I must beg your patience, dear reader.

The multi-pronged hunt for work continues unabated. As soon as I regained Internet access in Waterville today, I had a meeting regarding one possible job and juggled three email conversations about others. It's good to make account of this, because knowing that I still have no active work during this trip has been quite stressful.
