My father and I are headed up to Maine this weekend to close up our summer house.  October is a great time of year to be there, since the leaves are changing and the weather is cool, but not so cold that it isn’t fun.  I’ll be posting pictures on this page while we’re there, …

I’ve been a Flickr user for a few years, but over the past year or so I’ve barely given it more than a glance.  It’s not for the lack of a quality service – Flickr works very well for posting pictures online and allowing other people to see them and comment.  It’s due to Flickr …
