Question: If Scott ever says to you he'll be home early on the day before a test, you can expect that he will be home:
a. before 5, in time to eat supper with the family
b. before 8, in time to put Sal into bed
c. before 10, in time to go to bed.
d. "early" meaning the wee hours of the morning
e. none of the above.
If you said (e.), none of the above, you would be right. If Scott says that he will be home early on the day before an exam, you can expect him to be home in time for supper on the following day. Scott is an expert crammer.
Back to the point, here's the picture:
This is Sal last summer in Maine. You can tell it's Maine water because the look on Sal's face says, "Oh, I can't feel my feet." Despite the frigid water, Maine is my favorite place in the whole world. The ocean water is so cold that you don't have to worry about, sharks, jelly fish, or if you're a life guard...drowning (as it's too cold for the faint-of-heart to go in past the knees.) Also, if Maine is your favorite place, then you know you're made of tough stuff. If you can answer yes to the following questions, then Maine might be the place for you:1. I like sea food.
2. I am not afraid to swim in 50 degree water.
3. I am able to live without sunlight for 5 month of the year.
4. I am not afraid of ticks. (oh, wait, I am.)
5. I am willing to drive long distances to the nearest grocery store.
6. I think release time seminary is for pansies.
If you answered no to the above questions, then I'm afraid you could never be from Maine. I'm sorry. Not everybody can.

Yes, you can be in love with Maine, no you cannot be from Maine. I'm sorry, it's a harsh world.
i totally failed the maine test.
i am only qualified to declare it one of my favorite places to visit.
I got 1 out of 6. You better put me down for a fair-weather vacationer! Loved your photo! Thanks for playing!
i remember that wetsuit.. arhh.. love her.
the training pants are from http://www.imsevimse.us/store/category/8le5/Training_Pants.html
i searched everywhere fro a cheaper pair.. or free shipping or something but just ended up getting them from this website. they sell great swim suits too. - Sal is amazing. i love your stories.
You are such a liar! early release seminary is for smart people. Early morning seminary is for those that will learn nothing and only remember what a pain in the rear it was to get up at 5 am.
Seriously though, your blog is great. I just spent 30 minutes reading every post you ve ever written and then finally on the last post figured Scott is writing some of this too. (It doesnt all sound like you.)
Also number 3 should read,"I am able to live without sunlight for 5 months out of the year and can cope with it by being a cranky crumugin who is rude to out-of-towners because they live in warmer places, and even other mainahs cause they dumb too"
jota ka
