Good morning GH.  It sure feels good to be back after a long train ride from the East coast.  The weather report from the Weather Window says Beautiful!  Sugar the Weather Dog is still at camp, so her input will have to wait for tomorrow.  Current desktop temperature shows 53 degrees.  A short note on  our recent trip to Rockland, Maine, for a cruise aboard the J & E Riggin schooner.  Mary and I took a knitting cruise along the coast of Maine.  Wow!  I learned how to knit, at least in a newbie sense, and I also learned about the schooner herself and the people who sail her.  Meals were great, and we were accommodated in our vegetarian and allergy senses quite well.  I had considered trying lobster at the lobster bake we had one evening, but after my latest brush with a severe allergic reaction to what is likely chick peas, I decided that the idea of shellfish, a known allergen, was just too chancy.  Oh well, maybe in another life.  Took a nice tour of Boston while we were there for a few days, and found the pub with the cheap drafts along the way.  As always, Mary and I decided that Boston is a great walking city with its community gardens, great parks, the Freedom Trail, and the discovery of a place that serves killer breakfast food.  All in all, a great experience, except for some of the train delays.  Well, many things to do today, so it is...Tea time.
