13. Much of my Maine time was spent in Portland and Acton, Maine which is near the N.H. border.

That was mid 70's to 98, when I sold the condo. Portland then was more fun. Second hand stores on Exchange Street, Art movie house, $1.00 movies that were subsidized by the town - Chamber of Commerce or whoever.

Now it is just Starbucks, The Gap and so forth.

I still go back but not often. I may go to the Dark Sky Festival in September, depending on the weather forecast.
