Phew, A Chance to Relax!
I've had a busy week and it's great to have time to write a new post and catch up on your comments. I've spent the last two days at the Maine Archives and Museums Conference which was held in Belfast. I helped with local arrangements so was responsibile for catering and conference rates at a local motel and a B&B. I also hosted the annual meeting and reception at our library. It was a great success and I enjoyed it, but I'm glad it's over so I can back to my real work. It's great to hear from Mark, Bernie and Dana. Bernie, I'm really happy that the Cardinals won - not sure why, but I guess the fact that they beat the Mets made them the favorite in my book.
I guess I should tell you a little about what we have been up to, though it's probably not news to most of you. I am Reference/Special Collections Librarian at the Belfast Free Library and commute from the old home town each day. It's a great job which I love doing and I feel truly appreciated by my director, the board and my patrons. Paul is a Lt. with the University Police Department and is Commander of the Community Policing Division - which means he is in charge of the patrol force. Working on a University Campus provides it's own kinds of challenges and life is never dull. I had forgotten what it was like to have him working late into the evenings or on weekends, and am having a hard time adjusting to that again. And those middle of the night phone calls..... Toby is in year 5 at Maine - Peter suggested he might try to break his record of 7 years, but I don't think that will be necessary. (Actually, I had a pretty lengthy stay of my own, as did my brother Wayne)
He is a theater major with a music minor. He lives on campus in an apartment type place with 5 other people. One of those is his girlfriend, Michelle, who is a social work major from Kennebunk. We see them fairly often, though it's never often enough for me. I think he will get on here and can tell you about himself a bit when he has a chance. That's us in a nutshell. I'm involved with the Old Town Museum (with Uncle Kenny) and the state library association. Paul is still on a committee or two with Boy Scouts, though not nearly as active as he used to be, and is taking classes to finish up his Bach. degree. We don't seem to have much time for house and yard work :-) and feel like we've accomplished something if the laundry gets done each week, the dishes get washed fairly regularly and the trash gets put out. Well, I can hear Paul snoring in the next room, so I guess I'll get going to bed. Perhaps I'll talk to you again tomorrow.

Well, After getting nagged by Mom enough, I finally checked out the blog. I think Mom pretty much summed up what I've been up to. I'm pretty much bogged down by homework to get into too much trouble. But not too busy to run into Sirois. Just a couple of weeks ago, Kevin was part of the team that responded to a fire alarm in my building. Well, so it wasn't a great way to see each other, but at least the building wasn't on fire. Well, I guess it's bed time for me. Hope everyone stays well and has a great Hallowe'en!
