Daily Blague

D'you, I don't remember when I took this photograph. It would be somewhere in the neighborhood of ten years ago, when we still had our second vacation place - the one that we ought to have bought first and last - on Thomas Pond, just outside Windham, Maine. Hugging Kathleen is our great old friend, Barry, and in the background is the Portland Head Light.

When Kathleen and I were married, Barry was the best man. He was the oldest friend that Kathleen and I had in common. We had all met at Notre Dame just a few years before. Barry was pursuing a doctorate in government, while Kathleen and I were law students. We were all Pay-Caf regulars.

Kathleen flew into Portland this morning, to join some chums from Sebago Wohelo, a summer camp that for many years was a lot more than that for Kathleen. I forget what the occasion is, but Kathleen will be staying at the home of a friend, on another part of Sebago, and not at the camp itself, for the perfectly good reason that the camp is fully occupied by current campers.
