Castle Tucker – Wiscasset, Maine
Yesterday was the open house day for Historic New England, so for something a little different, we headed up to Wiscasset, and Castle Tucker.

Adventures on a Friday Afternoon
Because I skipped the gym after work yesterday, I caught the tail end of the most excitement my neighborhood has seen as long as I’ve lived here (and frankly, hopefully longer). Why yes, that is an idling, yet empty cop car blocking the entrance to my driveway. (With his buddy doing the same to
