I was very impressed with the beauty of Maine when my wife and I were there in October. Spending time with Kendall and Sinsull, singing songs and learning how to put lobsters into a trance before scalding them will remain a highlight of our vacation. I've even thought about moving to Maine after retirement and trying my songs out on the East Coast, but "Maine Mike" doesn't have the right sound. Tawmmie and I are very glad you are back home and on the mend Kendall.

By the way, did you hear about the lady who looked out her back door one day to see an elephant tearing up her garden. She had never seen an elephant before and so immediately dialed 911 and told the dispatcher that some great unknown beast was tearing out her cabbages with its tail. "What is the animal doing with the cabbages?", inquired the dispatcher. "Oh," replied the lady, "You're not even going to believe this....."

Best wishes,
ALASKA Mike
