Thanks! It looked pretty cool

Yes, my videoing ability is bad, as is the clarity of this video recorded on my Samsung phone. What is this flying over Orono, Maine at 6pm Tuesday evening, Nov 4th?? (I'm looking west, it's moving north)

My view in Orono, Maine (the Penobscot River)

Frustrating to watch, for sure. But Holt's OT winning goal, with a sweet pass from Poirier, was a thing of beauty. And the Alfond went nuts!!

What the National Media is Missing About Maine's Senate Primary And why I don't give a shite whether you've summered in Maine.

Here is my latest piece about how badly national media - both left and right - have fumbled their reporting on Graham Platner and why so many of us here in Maine really like the guy.

Au gratin

Let's hope there's 2 more upsets this weekend at Alfond. Go Blue!

So many great songs, but if I'm choosing one, it's Hold Back The Rain.

Dave Ball of Soft Cell passed away 2 days ago at age 66. Soft Cell arrived on the scene when I was 16/17. Followed them for years and their first 3 albums/EP/remix album still get a lot of play on my turntable. SC was more than Tainted Love.

This bums me out. I'm 60 now so I was right there at the debut of Soft Cell in 1981 when I was 16/17. Enjoyed their music for years, these 5 still get played on my turntable. All 5 bought at the time of their releases. RIP Dave Ball.

And in last night's game we saw even strength goals, a power play goal, and a short-handed goal. All that was missing was a Boija goal!

A lot of Maine players got on the score sheet this weekend.

The team looked pretty good and Poirier's hat trick fun to watch.
