60 y.o. gay, white male living in coastal Maine. Into sailing, growing vegetables, and learning to play the piano.
I got tired of being scorekeeper for my #Wingspan gang and put together this simple web page so that we can each tally our own score. Because math is hard. It’s very basic. Nothing flashy. No ads. Doesn’t ask you for any info or try to access your bitcoin wallet. Doesn’t even write a cookie. http://tinyurl.com/bhwingspan

The Penobscot Narrows bridge, and Fort Knox. The bridge was modeled on the George Washington monument in DC, and is the tallest public bridge observatory in the world. You can ride an elevator to the top of one tower. A bit of a landmark for us: once we reach the bridge, after x-teen hours of driving, we're only 30 minutes from home. #Maine
Drove to Bucksport on a rainy afternoon to see "The Taste of Things". Lovely film, but perhaps 30 minutes too long? I started to get numb butt.

Blue Hill made the New York Times! This is an article about an attempted book banning at our library. I was on the library board when this happened, and I was very proud of how seriously we all treated the issue, and very proud of the decision we reached. #bookban #BlueHill #Maine

We had a warm winter and little snow, but we got hit by some major wind storms that wreaked havoc along the coast. My favorite lobster place lost their dining pier. #BlueHill #Maine
