Orono (Maine) Festival Day always starts with the pancake breakfast at the fire station. Blueberry pancakes, sausage, coffee. I bring my own real maple syrup. #Orono #Maine #OronoFestival

I will never profess to be one of the smartest people on planet Earth, but I'm feeling pretty good right now because not even five minutes into this #Columbo episode and I've already figured out who the killer is!

Now Tim Curry? Dammit. I was 14 in '79 & really didn't know of TC yet when a local AM station started playing this song & I loved it even though I didn't understand it. Lots of 70s references I learned later it was about cocaine. RIP Mr Curry. So many great roles. #TimCurry youtu.be/kXPCsaO_55o?...

On July 4, 1964, in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, my Mom & Dad were married (I was born 9 months & 2 weeks later...coincidence I'm sure). Dad passed 5 years ago but Mom still going at 83. #Canada #Maine #Wedding #IndependenceDay

Many people say that the 5th Beatle was their producer George Martin. Others say that it was musician Billy Preston. However, while listening to my Abbey Road vinyl album today I noticed that the album cover clearly shows the 5th Beatle...

Just had my neighbors text me to ask if I had a stick of butter they could have. I said sure, come on over. Why did they need the butter? Because they had come home with some lobster and had it cooked when they realized they had no butter to dip It in. #MaineProblems #Maine #Orono #HelpingNeighbors
