    The afternoon sun back-lit the band with its white-hot glare. The postage-stamp-sized stage at Robert’s Western World is against the front windows. It barely contains the quartet with their stand-up fiddle, drum set, and guitars. I was entrenched on an aged chrome stool whose seat was leaking its foam stuffing out of a sizeable hole. A warm, humid breeze barely made its way through the open door to the rear of the narrow confines where we were seated.

    I’ve never understood the fascination with guacamole. I don’t hate it, just don’t love it. My dip of choice for tortilla chips tends more to salsa or bean.

Traveling Route 1 along Maine’s coast is arguably the East Coast’s most scenic drive. The layers of pictorial texture dictate a slower pace and deserve it.

    I stood as close to Champlain Mountain’s granite cliffside in Acadia National Park as I could bodily squeeze myself. My left hand grasped the ancient iron rung embedded in its stony flank while my toes tried to grip the narrow trail through the soles of my shoes. Meanwhile, I fumbled for my camera with my right hand. While trying to take a picture one-handed without losing my handhold or the camera, I noticed the iron rungs at my feet, defining the very edge of the bluff.
