mild excitement

Just finished booking nine nights of hotel rooms for my trek through northern Maine and southern New Brunswick. I'll hit Lewiston, Farmington, Waterville, Saint John, Fredericton, Bangor, and Brunswick. Bike and guitar and camera and iBook are coming. I know I won't have time to read, but maybe Huck Finn can come, too (never read it). Work, travel, physical and intellectual play. Why I took this job. The bustle of Cambridge, Boston, and Somerville next week. The whatever of leaf-season Maine the week after
