What was I thinking?

Found this funny picture of me threatening a painted horse in Lexington with my Maine shirt on.

Where did the global warming go?

Suddenly reality hits. Yes, it is cold here in the fridged North East. What happened to the 60's of a week ago Saturday? Did you guys stop using your aerosol hair spray or sell your SUV? Come on. I was planning on building a year round ocean beach front resort up by Mt. Washington after the glaciers fell in. Oh, well, I guess I'll stay inside and drink some delicious California Orange Juice.

My House To Be...I Pray.

Anna's Accident

Okay. Details on my daughters accident. My wife and I were sitting in our living room watching TV and the kids were in the den watching their shows on the little screen. We had taken all the Christmas decorations down, but hadn't put them away because there had been a minor icestorm the day before and there was lots a slick spots about. My oldest decided he would move the Christas tree pole. Now we have a fake Christmas tree which surpises most Main-ards. It was heavier than he expected and it fell on my daughters fore head. Right about here left eye. It's very odd to see how different people react to events in different ways. My oldest went, held my daughter, and yelled for me and my younger son ran off and hid. I was the first to arrive and panicked just a bit. This scared my wife worse than what any of my kids had done. Her head was bleeding moderately. My wife held her and I ran around getting towels to put on the wound. My niece is a nurse. She lives 6 doors down. I called her she came down and helped us dress the wound. I decided to take her to the hospital because I hated for it to scar worse than I expect it would. Anna was very brave through it all. When they gave her the local annestetic I grabbed her legs and mom grabbed her hands when she flinched. I hated that part. They sowed her up with just three stiches. After the stiches we bragged on how brave she was. She told us it didn't hurt that bad except for the part were daddy squeezed her legs too hard. Apparently I forgot to let go after she flinched and had been squeezing her the whole time. The doctor told us to come back in 5 days to have the stitches removed. She'll be fine. Really.
