BRACK: As lobsters go, so goes the great state of Maine

By Elliott Brack  |  Our great country has many wonderful places to visit, with a vast assortment of scenery, activities, foods and people. 

With the summer approaching, and the temperatures here aiming toward 100, it was a good time to visit in the state of Maine, a beautiful place in warm weather with a certain laid-back attitude that attracts many “summercasters.” We visited right before Maine’s big season for visitors, which is July and  August.  The weather certainly cooperated, in the 80s only one day, and most nights between 55-60.

BRACK: Oh, the fun of re-reading a really good author’s book

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | There is nothing more satisfying to me, on lazy days, than to return to a book you have enjoyed previously. One I pulled down from the bookshelf the other day was The Wines of Pentagoet by John Gould.

BRACK: Ports of call in Maritime Canada are beautiful places to visit

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | The ports of call were enough to spark our interest: Portland and Bar Harbor Maine, then in Atlantic Canada the areas of Lunenburg, Halifax, Pictou, Charlottetown, Ile de Madeliene, Gaspe, plus on the St. Lawrence River, Baie-Comeau and Saguenay. The final destination was Quebec.
