ah Boston! What a great town! something for everyone. I like to eat at "Piccolo Venezio", then wander around the streets watching everything go by.
Maine is quiet, peaceful and you can see Mooses - er - Meese.

oh my coquette and I made a quick trek up there a week or so ago, in order to check out some sites we were interested in expanding to. We really liked a couple of them, and have been in contact with some principle's up there.
Maine fits nicely into our long range plans, and we figured to get in now and grow slowly, so we can get a synergistic output ina few years, rather than wait till things get more $$$.

You should go back to Boston now that you have some time. it has cleaned up much better now, and no one hassles you. They have a fleet of old military Ducks that give tours, each one a different color - they even go into the harbor itself.
And I know it's a tourist trap, but I still dig Quincy Market with it's outdoor performers and carnival atmosphere. The museus of science is nice too, as is the whole North end.

Good Morning All,
Gee, first in the door and then the four letter word rears its ugly head and I can't get back for an hour.
Here goes.
The tree is really no bruiser.
He thinks the Supremes a chooser.
He's not prone to cuss,
