Maine-lining

Jenna and I spent a week in New England, mostly Maine. We will return. What a place. A giant flea market. Visiting the Grain surfboards factory. Eating so much good food I wanted a hot dog. Playing skeeball. watching WAY too much cable. Being posers. Admiring lighthouses. Covering Portland and Portsmouth and points in between. Driving the slow coastal road the whole way. Reading as many historic plaques as I could. Looking at tons of Art, inculding the finest seascapes to date! Seeing a thriller of a movie. Dotting the coast with such a beautiful and fun lady as Jenna....a much needed respite from a life we love in Philly. We rounded out the week in Surprise, NY, at an 1830's Greek Revival farmhouse owned by my dear brothers-in-laws Michael and Douglas. I got to ride their new kick ass lawn mower, run around with Peggy the Italian greyhound, try my hand at archery, read the NY times, enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with a well-proportioned, sparesely furnished, well-sited vintage piece of vernacular architecture on 4 acres in upstate NY....and stay up way too late talking about Jesus, capitalism, and obamacain (so taboo, so fun). Its good to be home.
