Where do your parents live?

My google search says Wingood Road is in Maine.

That's it, Rob. The town is Windsor. A portion of the road is fairly hard-packed dirt. Better than the concrete sidewalks of Indiana.

Maine, Alaska, and Washington are the three states I haven't been to. I have a problem with the corners.

Oh yeah... Hawaii too.

I need to go west. Maine is lovely. My good friends just moved to Washington. I'm hoping to visit them soon and see what the trail running is like. Utah, Colorado, Montana. Everywhere west of Chicago that isn't Vegas basically is where I haven't been.

I talked to a fellow history guy on the plane who looked like Teddy Roosevelt, did historical reenactments, and also played classic 1866 Baseball( 32 rules!). He was interested in Joshua Chamberlin, so he had Maine on his bucket list.

If you were to compile a list of the "Top Ten Ass- Kicking Professors" of all time, Joshua Chamberlain would have to top the list.

I'm not sure we could come up with 10 though.

You know you have plenty of free places to stay if you want to do any trail running or skiing in Utah.

If i could find somewhere a lab puppy that stayed a lab puppy I'd take it home. I like labs, but nothing compares to a lab puppy.

I only remembered a little bit about him, so I went back and looked him up. He doesn't even sound human. Just an incredible list of accolades. After my long sleep that was high school and deciding that I wanted to enter the halls of academia, I wanted to go to Bowdoin, but my grades and the Harvard-level cost of attendance led me to humbler institutions. (I appreciate the potential hospitality).

Matt: he was so goofy and excited. He kept running into my legs. I tried running on the lawn with Mandy, but she has no easy pace.
