    Did you happen to go to Camp Four Winds in Maine? It's in Sargentville which is so close to Blue Hill. Blue Hill is a town we used to visit.

  13. I love reading things like this, it makes me feel like I'm really getting to know someone. I read that one of your favorite movies is Overboard. Ha, me too! I often say this line when I'm annoyed and very very few people know where I got it from. "Eat your checkers"
