R.I.P. Aunt Edith
Upon arrival yesterday Kim & I learned of the passing of my beloved Aunt Edith. She had a good innings at 101 and touched the lives of many in the Boothbay area. Kim managed to meet Edith and she gave us her blessing. It is a shame she will not be alive for our wedding.

Curse you, Mark Steyn.
