It will be fun to virtually explore Maine. Like most places, all I have in my mind are stereotypes---fall leaves and lobster. Since fall leaves are more attractive than lobsters that's the picture here. Actually, Dave looked at a job opening in Maine once. I don't know how serious he was, but I was tempted. In the end we didn't try for it because it was in a rural area--Dave would have taught high school and I would have....? Worked in a gas station maybe? Still, it was with regret that we didn't follow up on it. The only other thing--and unfortunatley it is the FIRST thing that pops into mind are the lyrics from a song by P.D.Q. Bach--the great classical humorist. He sings about living in New York:
A babysitter here if she has half a brain,
Can make more money than the governor of Maine!
Ok--things can only go up from here. Obviously we'll be eating at Red Lobster at some point this month. I realize that this is probably sacriledge, but it's the best we can do.
