Shacking Up With My Greatest Fear
I wrote about what it's like to shack up with someone who dedicates their life to doing something you're quite afraid of. In this case: snakes.

Last weekend I went hiking at Acadia with a family (not my own) on assignment for Down East.1 Two days later, I went on a brief midday canoe by our house and hiked keenabskatnek (Mount Waldo) with Cara of Red Rabbit Bazaar, tasting the first wild blueberries of the season. On Wednesday, Chris and I gave a presentation about One Small Step2 to the Belfast Rotary Club. A round of speed grocery shopping after the talk allowed me a ten-minute stretch during which I jumped in the ocean to prove to myself that things are real before going to pick up my kids from camp. (I did not see the whale.)
