A Day in the Life

Lingering in bed with strong black fuel, catching up on my pile of New Yorker back-issues.

A spectacular, resplendent early autumn day.

A free oil change.

Going to Lowe’s and getting great advice for upcoming projects.

A sudden detour to find Shiloh Chapel, which was Stephen King’s inspiration for Marsten House in Salem’s Lot, which turned into a guided tour by a delightful Maine couple married 66 years.

L.L. Bean and the new home store.

Beers, sausage and pretzels and fish and chips at the Sea Dog.

A Maker’s Mark cigar and Pinot Noir on the porch.

A hot shower, clean lounging clothes and clean sheets.

Reading classic Spenser and tales of Lighthouse Lore.

Thank you, 9/26/09: you were spectacular.
