A couple items on my bucket list is to step foot on all 50 & lick a glacier. I got 5 states to go and the glacier has been licked up Alaska way.

I just returned from Maine where I went out on a 115' schooner for 3 days. I always wanted to do this but never had the time when I was young. Too many obligations, you know, job, kids, life... However, I'll say it was pretty awesome, even at my age. Yep.


Schooner Mercantile out of Camden, ME. It's the boat's 100th birthday this year.
