Hello from Damariscotta

I want to apologize for not blogging much lately. I went on vacation with my father to Maine, and while the remoteness is a wonderful thing (to an extent), we actually lack all Internet and cell phone access! So this morning I went into the nearest town, Damariscotta (pictured at right), to actually tune back in to the rest of the world. There is at least one coffee shop here with Internet access. I have verified it. Anyways, I'll be back to blogging regularly by Thursday, I hope. And on Friday, we'll have a new installment of Point of Inquiry, featuring Richard Wrangham of Harvard discussing a very different kind of missing link in the story of human evolution--the long overlooked matter of cooking.... Ok, now back to planning how to get my next lobster.
