My vegetable selection isn’t the most interesting in February. Gone are the days of Swiss chard and lettuce; I’m back to slinging cabbage, one of the longest lasting vegetables I’ve ever worked with. They’re like onions; if the outer leaves are discolored, just peel the layer off, and the cabbage is in perfect condition once more.
Brunch, Please! Details Delight in Cupacity Creations
“I think that’s a good omen,” Amber Clark, one of my favorite workplace proximity associates, said as we pulled into the parking spot directly in front of Cupacity on Sunday morning. She agreed to join me for the second outing of this column, a venture to downtown Damariscotta to see a mutual friend behind the bar.
Round Pond
The old Deering and Hazel Genthner house finally gave up the ghost in last week’s rain and windstorm and collapsed in on itself. I don’t imagine that the blizzard last weekend did it any good either. When I was a little kid, it was always the beautiful place at the top of the hill. There will probably be a McMansion built there before we know it.
Truck’n in America
So, been a few weeks since I did any scribblin, no excuse really, except I’m working on towards the finish line, of filming somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 basketball games for LCTV. But today I’m gonna get’er done.

The Way Back Voices from the Past
I love the way we talk. Mainers, I mean. When I hear people speaking with the types of voices I remember from when I was growing up, I sometimes get a little teary. I am so thankful, like the Maine way with words is a language all its own, and one I am afraid is dying out.
Characters of the County: Community Builder By Day, Coach By Night
Building a community is not unlike running, in Newcastle’s Garrett Martin’s view.
On the Pond
If ever there has been a winter week to enjoy life on Biscay Pond, this past week may have been it. Yes, our brutal cold snap has continued. I have had to hit the reset button on my furnace four times.
Whitefield Library Whitefield Library Reopens
Despite the overcast sky and the chilly breeze atop Grand Army Hill in N. Whitefield, the “OPEN” flag flapped its invitation once again to all who passed through town; beckoning them to please stop in and to take a peek at the new library that is now open for business!
Henry, A Dog’s Life in Maine
Hello all, greetings from me, Henry. I am adjusting to life here in Maine quite well. Louisiana is not as cold; I mean, yikes, 8 degrees below 0! Who would have thought! I don’t know exactly what that means, but I hear my mom and dad talking and it sounds awful!
Characters of the County: A Trending Sport for Roan Donaghy
“There’s something about just riding and feeling like you can fly. You can go off really big jumps and slide on these really cool rails. Landing a trick is the best feeling ever, especially if you’ve practiced it for so long. You just feel this rush of adrenalin. And you’re so happy.”
Marilyn Beane’s World
I didn’t feel well during the night. The sweet med tech gave me my two morning meds around 5:30 a.m. Starting at 7:30 a.m. I watched “Turning Point” with Pastor David Jeremiah and “In Touch” with Pastor Charles Stanley. Both so uplifting and helpful. I have been writing and reading and my sweet roommate and I watched old movies on TV. The sweet med tech gave me my bedtime meds last evening. I was soon to sleep.
Midcoast Boater’s Journal Ice Boating on the ‘Dammy’
Picture yourself lying on your back, your head and shoulders propped up just enough to see over your toes, one hand on a line and the other on a tiller. It’s well below freezing, might be snowing.
