Food is his nemesis!

Damariscotta Mills, Maine is nice like that. So is Weston, Vermont.

A road side diner on the edge of town with strong coffee and fresh greasy donuts. A waitress calling you dearie for an extra tip. Carry on, with the windows rolled down and the radio a bit too loud.

My happy place is a book. Or writing.

I thought he was gonna say “I forgot my wallet”.

It’s a gut reaction.
