One Year and Counting
Today marks the first full year of our residence in Maine. So far we like it up here a great deal. We’re renewing our lease for another year, I’m still working from home, and Amber has gotten a new, full-time teaching position at a middle school in the area (sort of). We’re making friends and starting to feel like this is home. Our only real complaint so far is the distance from our family and friends from New York and Connecticut. Amber laments “if only we could get rid of New Hampshire and Vermont, this place would be perfect.” Not sure that’s going to happen, but as problems go, that’s far from the worst we could be having.

Excellent post on the one year anniversary in Maine. Many more. Congrats to Amber on the full-time job - hope it’s not too far away. Look forward to many more BBQ’s and your beer blogging. On the basis of beer alone, Portland v. Genny Cream Ale, although Genny Cream Ale is a fan favorite, Portland wins hands down. See you both soon. Steve
The fact that NY and Conn count as a considerable driving distance for you guys reveals what part of the country you’ve grown up in. To me that distance seems very short!
