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.

10/4/08 storm windows and jackets
It's beyond brisk today. It's still gorgeous sunshine and autumn leaves blowing, but the high was only in the mid-50's. The landlady came and replaced the screen in my screen door with a storm window. I guess my screen door is now a storm door. I went through the house and traded out screens for storm windows in all my windows. I wore a jacket most of the day and it was very chilly in the house this morning. I put flannel sheets on the bed several weeks ago and I'm already sleeping under a down blanket and a comforter. But I haven't turned the heat on yet. It's definitely about time for that. It's not quite hot chocolate time but it's definitely hot apple cider season.
