I guess it turned into too nice a day. It was just Nick Noble and me for the first half hour. Then the Finns arrived -- Gail, Jim, Amanda, and grandma Doris. And Don Hale survived the traffic to Portsmouth. Sharon from Cornwall (originally) also joined us and Bill, Nick's non-singing friend. Oh, and Rita Pomerleau arrived during the last 45 minutes or so.

Erin and Molly kept us supplied with beer... New brews this time. Nick really enjoyed the "Bub Lite". I think I started with "Cut Off Schwartz"(schwarzbier) then gravitated to "Primetime Sunshine" because my prednisone-addled tastebuds were messing with me.
