They have a summer place near Kennebunkport, which is built on the 
ocean---and which was substantially repaired by good ol' federal flood 
insurance (a couple of million $$ in damage) the last time it was damaged 
by a hurricane; can't remember just when it was but maybe 10-12 years 
ago---same year Common Ground fairgrounds got torn to shreds, I remember 
that.  Important stuff first....

They, and Martha Stewart, are folks most of us would just as soon would go 
be associated with someplace else......

Aside on Martha Stewart:  I was looking for a heat-resistant spatula one 
day several years ago in a fancy kitchen-goods store.  I saw someone sort 
of floating around the store with a gaggle of folks around her but we see 
that in the summer and I really didn't much more than register 
it.  Suddenly she swooshes up to me and says "I'm Martha Stewart" ......and 
whatever else it was she said behind it.  I was busy thinking, geez, 
Martha, Martha: do I know a Martha?  She's standing there waiting for me to 
answer whatever and finally I just asked "Do I know you?  I'm drawing a 
blank."  Well, suffice it to say that's not the way to impress Martha 
Stewart.  Apparently she doesn't run into many folks who don't have a 
clue.........

And on Common Ground Fair:  it's coming up the 23rd-25th of the 
month.  Generally worth the trip.  www.mofga.org; I've no connection except 
as a volunteer and enjoy-er.......
