Stuff about me
My name is Keith Michaud and this is “Letters From Away,” a blog written by a Mainer living outside the comfortable and sane confines of New England. The blog is intended for Mainers, whether they live in the Pine Tree State or beyond, and for anyone who has loved ’em, been baffled by ’em or both. Ayuh, I am “from away.” Worse still, I live on the Left Coast – in California. Enjoy! Or not. Your choice.

Coffeehouse observation No. 246
OK, should I be freaked out? Two — one, two — Seussian Christmas hats in the coffeehouse. And they are between me and the door. I’m dooooooomed! … I wonder if it’s some sort of lodge hat. And if they’ll slip and do the secret handshake in public.
Go to Coffeehouse Observer for more coffeehouse observations.
