Maine should never be 102 degrees like it was on 7/22. If it has to be that hot, my preference would be to stay in an air-conditioned venue with a crisp cocktail. Since that does not work well with a five year old, Lyra and I went to Beals for Icecream instead. It was what I would describe as local chain quality. Very good but produced in volume, not Pitango Gelato level (for Washingtonians). It was soothing, and the service was good. Lyra was very happy to get out of the heat.

I am a technologist, foodie, photographer, gardener, music lover and political junkie. I have always saved ticket stubs, old business cards, doodles and other ephemera in shoe boxes, scrapbooks or desk drawers. Some things get saved and some are lost over time. I travel a lot, take many photos and try to keep notes of my experiences, whether interesting meals, great bottles of wine, or cool articles I have read. This site is my latest attempt to consolidate this content for the entertainment of my friends and family.
