Two weeks from today Pam and I will arrive on the shores of Quantabacook in Mid-Coast Maine to begin our six week sanity break. Along the way we will entertain six different guests. Two of them will be Kaitlin and Jon. This is a photograph that she has in a frame in her dining room. I’m pretty sure that Pam took this one. Its an all-timer because it perfectly captures the essence of Maine and what we do there. This is the vibe. The lake is where we all get a chance to just…be, to spend time talking about anything and everything. I have often thought about writing a caption for this picture. What were we talking about?
“No Dad…you can’t call someone from the Middle East a ‘towelhead’!!”
“The designated hitter rule is ruining baseball.”
“Just so you know, father, that hat is not flattering.”
“Then I turned to the Oriental waitress and I said…”
“No dad, no…that’s not good either. Its ‘Asian”.
“I’m worried about Mom. She only spent six hours on her paddle board yesterday.”
So, why do Irishmen make such great bankers?
I have no idea, Dad.
Because their capital is always Dublin.
…sigh.
