When Dan, recently home from an extended stay in Northern Maine and I, recently healed up from surgery – decided we wanted to take a mid-week beach day a few days ago to catch up (and catch some waves) – I knew I didn’t need to throw on anything more complicated than a swimsuit and […]
This week is shaping up to be one of the busiest I’ve had in a while, which is almost always the case leading up to a long weekend/vacation. I’m working as normal, attending meetings and appointments before I take off for Boston Calling and then Maine for an extended Memorial Day holiday- but there’s also […]
