lets try and see this blog without pictures. my idea was to finally begin to host pictures from in and around the portland area for all of our friends and family whom we've left behind to move to maine. maybe not a picture a day as i should be doing in my best ernest hemingway four hour a day writing stint, but lets shoot for the modest and just try to get blogger to host these first few words. thanks to all of those who have tuned in thus far, brendan
