Skyward

Saturday, as the night sky drifted in, I found myself walking up towards One City Center, after an enjoyable afternoon on the Grill Room's outdoor patio. Although the major heat of last week had passed, it was still a warm evening with lots of couples strolling in Tommy's Park. Sunday afternoon found us on the road to Brunswick and the Maine State Music Theater's rendition of Gypsy. The review in the local paper offered kind words, and referred to it as a can't miss summer production. We had never seen it and were truly looking forward to the afternoon. Although the storyline was intriguing and offered some dramatic twists and turns, I found the music uninteresting and left the theater for the ride home saying, "What's the big deal with Gypsy?" All the rave reviews on this one, I just don't get. Thank Goodness, Elenka suggested heading for South Freeport and the warm, outdoor dining tables at the Harraseeket Lunch and Lobster Restaurant. We sampled the clam cakes, clam roll, and the clam chowder. All delicious! So under warm skies and early evening sea breezes, it was a close to perfect way to end a less then perfect afternoon of theater.
Things are looking up!

  2. 'cept we didn't know they allow you to bring your own wine or beer on their picnic tables. Many folks were sitting on this wharf overlooking the marina sipping wine from glass wine glasses they brought themselves. THAT would have made it even more perfect!

    What's up for today, Birdman??? (Ya, never know with him. I love it when he says, "You know what I was thinking?"
    Most of the time it means we're going somewhere or buying something cool. Love the guy!

  7. Hi BM...re your comment on Ocala: If'n you did move into that top floor, you'd be about 20 feet above criticism! That would be kinda nice, right?

  9. I saw Harraseeket and automatically thought you were going to talk about the inn. A lobster joint? That isn't at all in line with the fancy inn I have stayed at a few times.

    (Never say Gypsy and might keep it that way . . . )
