After all the action of the past several weeks and in anticipation of more action still to come, it seems to me tonight is definitely a night for a breather.
Last week, Buddy and I ran away up the coast to see Campobello, just over the Maine border in Canada, where FDR had a summer home. The house was cool to see (and freezing cold to visit that day!) and so was the hiking we did along the Maine coast.
I am not a painter, but I have always imagined that one of the reasons Maine has sported so many artists is the extraordinary light. On one of our evening hikes, just about every shot I took looked like this.
Going to take the night off. I'll see you tomorrow.
Heather, You so deserve a night off. Your work sustains me in the fight. You work late at night most nights. I'm on the west coast; often I'm actualy waiting to go to bed to see if your piece drops. Thank you so much for all that you do!!!
Warmly,

Beautiful… While we have experienced a wonderful spring in Florida, we can’t wait to enjoy a wonderful summer in Maine. As Florida politics dissolve into draconian measures, we are conflicted. We are sponsors of the annual Planned Parenthood fundraising dinner here this year and it is going to be a gloomy forecast indeed. I swear that without your daily input, we’d be ready to bury our heads in the sand. Thank you for putting into words what we are thinking but what we cannot express so clearly.
