Traveling to Minnesota
Hello all, started this blog from an altitude of 36,000 feet and about an hour behind schedule (I love airports, sense my sarcasm). Got up at 2am EDT and drove from Presque Isle to Bangor with enough time to grab breakfast. Checked in around 5:30am and took off on time and arrived in Newark airport [...]

The Conventions
I have been watching the Democratic convention with some amusement as Hillary gave her speech.

The purpose of the resolution was to send a clear message that Maine Republicans not only care [...]

Ep.1: Freezer Burn Steak Stir Fry
Okay, so you see some steak at the grocery store with the super discount sticker on it, and being that ramen is boring enough after several weeks of it as breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You decided you’d actually like some protein for once and you buy it. You do this [...]
