We Are...!

When in doubt, go to Maine!
And go to Fore Street and order oysters, Jonah Crab soup and the chocolate torte. The olive oil ice cream is something to cherish.
The beets might or might not have the yogurt sauce.
Maybe stay away from the Compari and blood orange juice- it will remind you of metal shavings. Definitely welcome the Bordello.
Speak Italian often and don't be afraid to fake it. Vedo televisione nella camera di televisione-it's all good.
Call Andrea and Clementina in Sicily. They can't wait to see you in May and maybe meet Irin in August. (pick a name that will translate)
Watch Penn State with the family always and sing fight songs at every opportunity. Love Clark.
Don't ask questions about the Secret Men of Maine Association but go out to for sake and sushi instead with the Girls. The Comedy Connection makes a mean margarita but could use some sexier acts.
Don't forget to blow out the candles before leaving the house.
Washing cars as a family is a great fall activity where everyone can learn about the advantages of ceramic brake pads. Name your car but not Lola or Warthog- those have already been taken. Sorry.
Avoid talking politics with the Brewer family especially at children's birthday parties. If you can get away with it, change their TV channel from a Patriots game to a Steelers one. They won't mind watching Brett Favre try to beat your team.
Stay the night and leave in the morning. Nothing beats October sunrises in New England.
Love Maine.
Love Maine.
Love Maine.

all the cool kids are doin' it.
