Today I get to join Rodney in another day of his Celebration Tour. My job was to meet him at his brother's house in Buckfield (home of the Mentos and Diet Coke folks) where he is dogsitting. I won't say that I got lost, but there were two U-turns (are you counting, Lindsay?) and a lot of uncertainties. Seeing a sign for the "Where In the Heck R We" Campground did not instill any extra confidence. But I did make it. We had to skip the kayaking portion of the day due to more drizzling rain, but we had plenty of great adventures.
Mainiacs is a revered term, only given to those who are 5th generation (or more) born in Maine. If you were born in Maine but you are 1st - 4th generation, you're a Mainer. Everyone else is just "a person from away". I came to Maine for "just one semester," but now I'm "tenure track" which means I'm here to stay for a while. As I was in those first few months, I am very excited about this adventure and the chance to meet the great people of Maine.
