Kendall, I lived in Beantown for a month about 10 years ago. Even the damn McDonald's in Freeport had to look "quaint"! But I really enjoyed Maine. Almost as much as Hawaii.

Seriously, you might want to look into finding a hypnotherapist to help you with the sore throat. I've taken a course and am starting to use hypnosis in my practice--it can be very effective. I'd be happy to work with you, too, even by phone...if that diaper rash doesn't clear up. Just let me know.

Aloha,
Mark
