Happy New Year! I have really struggled this year in writing this post, not because I had trouble with choosing a word – this year that was the easiest part of this process. The difficult part is writing a post that recaps last year without underpinning it with the politics and the continued divisiveness of this country which has managed to seep into just about every aspect of our daily lives, including the staggering loss…

For me, the Maine Lobster Festival has always signaled the beginning of the end of summer. Folks are wrapping up their summer vacations and getting kids ready to go back to school. This year, being a part of the 70th, was the biggest professional event so far of my new writing career and it was a fantastic experience! I was there Saturday and Sunday from 12p.m. to 4p.m. Thousands of people walked by my table…
