Gee whiz, I go away for an hour and guess what happens? I get to post post no. 1800! Wooweee!
Okay, to recap...
I never thought I'd like blue boots til I saw those pictures. However, Ellery favors black denims. Anyway we can darken up the pants?:
Two photoshop artists...wowza! Makes me proud of my compliment from Quip on the business card (which if I do say so myself, looks pretty damn good).
Lauren...Vienna, Maine? Shit, girl, we are practically neighbors! We must get together for a visit. Maybe we can persuade David to join us. He does have a new car after all.
I have to laugh at your message...for those reading this who are "from away" (which is everyone who is not in Maine)...there is this weird thing in this state. Unless you were born here, you are never from here, so people always ask you where you are from. After a certain period of time, you just say it reflexively, without being asked. Notice Lauren's message, "I've been here since 1974..." I actually resist this and still don't offer the information, unless asked (although I get asked all the time). For the record, since I brought this up and I am among friends, I'll tell you...I've been here since 1980. I spent most of my youth in New York (Queens, then Long Island, then the capital district for college), lived for a year in Maryland and then two in Chicago, and moved here to Maine in June of 1980. We still live in the same house, which was builit in 1803.
So Lauren, even though neither of us are natives, you're more native than me. Ayuh.

PS, get the two of us wound up enough, maybe we'll start telling "Bert & I" jokes...
