If you need someone to go back with - let me know. Sounds like I could do some damage there....

I have the inkling that you would be pained to come back to Maine after being there. If I could die, being fed food like the guy from Seven... it would be food from Cochon.

Holy hell, that all sounds so good. I really want to get down there! And that little guy might be the saddest dog ever.

Kate, it's probably the only southern city, outside of Key West, I would want to live in...if you ever get the chance to go, I highly recommend it...

OK, it's been moved further up the list then. And I love Key West sooo much (just for visiting, I've only stayed on Big Pine Key and Marathon). But I love it there. I love Kelly's, where a chicken might wander through your legs while you eat your dinner and drink your margs. Sigh... why the fuck do we live in Maine?!?

Hey, have a good Tgiving (I am excited to take pics of our dinner b/c my mom just got a Nikon SLR). How were the tamales? I was being a car with 'TNGOVOZ' as the license plate Sunday morning!
