See - this is what they do to you here. Throw in a few just stunning days in March and early April, psyche you into letting down your guard, mothballing the winter jacket and all, and then phwoosh, 24 inches of snow, or 27 straight days of rain and clouds (see May 2005). This photo is taken at Two Lights State Park today (took it meself), where I've been almost every day this week. I actually went today and sat out on the rocks and graded, telling myself that this is what my life IS here, you know? And there are days when it is, like today, and there you have it. But as idyllic as this looks, I'll confess that on my way to the park I passed a big sign at Dunkin Donuts that said HOME OF THE $.99 LATTE, and I slammed on the brakes and swerved in, and while I was there, I figured, why not a chocolate butternut donut too, since you can't always get those at all Dunkins. And the other photo I was thinking of featuring as the first ever photo on my blog was of a coffee and a donut, you know, with the sea in the background - sort of the perversion by man of all that is holy, but then I reconsidered and I put this one up. Cause this is my life. Every day.

Should I or shouldn't I? I have the capability...

Oh okay - I will. At least for now. But watch for this blog to disappear suddenly and without warning. Really. Watch for it.

No time really to blog right now though - Southern Maine is enduring a bout of unbelievably gorgeous weather. Alex and I hit the Lobster Shack, which is open for the season (don't believe their website), and stuffed our faces full of fried clams as the sun began to set over an array of red picnic tables and the Atlantic. I thought as we walked among the rocks, this place will be open for the next 7 months. Paradise found.

Maybe I'll post a picture some time.

Ciao...
