Tug,
We enjoyed wathcing the sunset with you last evening across Mordecai Island, Beach Haven, NJ. Our grandchildren were amazed watching Zach paddle out with your breakfast this morning. We wish you the best adventures on your trip. Our daughter will be using reports of your experiences in teaching her 8th grade history classes in Havre de Grace, MD.
Godspeed.

I get journal@healthorbit.ca to keep up with a broad range of medical research at the cutting edge. It’s a daily selection of journal articles and what’s up in pharmaceutical research.

Local restaurants: my favoritez in Montana are
Mabel’s Nouvelle Mexican in Laurel–Mexican stir fries, served with rice and the best refried beans I’ve ever eaten. For a caloric splurge I like the Fraiche. I talked Joel, Mabel’s husband, out of the recipe so it’s now my company dish.
Goode’s Cajun Grill in Great Falls—first bite of jambalaya, I was back in the French Quarter.
Grizzly Bear Bar in Roscoe (outside Billings)–good basic steak, and trout, plus it is in this dinky, little town near the Beartooths, so it’s an adventure to get there.
The Babb Bar in Babb (just outside Glacier National Park near the Many Glacier Lodge)On the Blackfeet Reservation, this used to be the roughest bar in the state, then was redone into a lodge type steakhouse with up to a 20 oz steak–but it was the little touches I enjoyed, like my waiter’s black eye. Old Montana meets New Montana.

Thanks for your suggestions for my next trip to Maine–Hope you come visit Montana sometime soon!

Comment on Video: The Bowdoin Longfellows Perform ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ by Michele Stapleton

Brown-Eyed Girl is such a wedding standard that this brings back one of my most memorable wedding moments (I am a photographer and photograph lots of weddings) The members of the groom’s a cappella college group serenaded the bride during the cocktail hour. There were tears everywhere! (Unfortunately, the groom wasn’t from Bowdoin, but the bride was.)

A key to various color-blocks/parcels would be helpful.

Well done! Love it. BTW, calling them the “Longfellows” is a great move.

Comment on Whispering Pines: “Striker to the Nine!” (Batter up!) by Charles Ranlett '54

John,
A great article. A number of small city teams in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois play under the old rules you describe. Their games are great fun to watch. At one park, Deep River, Indiana, it is an “out” if the ball hits the US flag suspended on the wall of an old barn in short right field. A team from Fremont, Ohio plays on the grounds of the President Rutherford Hayes estate on the outskirts of that city.
