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.

Hey, Leslie, I would love to get together with you and David (even though you aren't as native as I am!  ). David, are you listening???

We should have another brokie get together. Lisa (BBMISWEAR) who has NOT gotten addicted to this story YET is in Maine right now, too....near Bridgton. We can sit around the fire, sip some whiskey...before the "Summer of David" ends.

Sounds good to me. Name the time and place...

(I gave birth to my only child in Bridgton. I've always held the place in high regard.)

LOL...it will probably have to wait until I get back from London....since I leave Aug 1.

Ranchgal - Thanks for the comments about the hats. I think that is what they must have been referring to. (Are you saying that women were held to the same "remove it out of respect" standards that men were? I find that interesting.)

Sure 'nuf.

Even when "Summer of Dave" is over, I'll just be working part time.  So a road trip may still be possible.   

So Les,  Where are you flying into?   Heathrow or Gatwick?

To be honest, I have no clue (off hand). I have the itinerary from hell, since I got this ticket with frequent flyer miles. Let's see....I need to leave Portland very early in the morning and get to Boston. Fly from Boston to Cincinnati. Hang out in Cincinnati for awhile, then fly to Cleveland. Fly from Cleveland to London...arrive approximately 24 hours after I have left my home in Portland.

Coming back...I need to get from London to Birmingham. Fly from Birmingham to Newark then Newark to Boston. Not quite as bad as the trip over...
