Not watching the game, but gonna throw out some Maine love real quick. Not from there, but it is one of the most important places in my life. One of my best friends is from Bath/Wiscasset area, and another best friend has had a house in Waldoboro since he was a kid. I've been there a thousand times with him.
But the main thing is that I've been going there every summer since I was a small child to do some extreme camping out in the middle of nowhere (near to Madison) with my family. My experience in Maine It is the most spiritual, important time of my life each year and truly what I live for on a yearly basis. Also the first script I ever wrote was set in Maine, about to Maniacs going out and getting into an adventure in the Maine woods. I've driven snow mobiles, 4 wheelers, go carts. I've seen countless moose, deer, mountain lions, bears, eagles, great blue herron, loons, hawks and other birds of all kinds. I have mastered the Maine accent and spent time chilling on a lobster boat on friendship harbor. The combination of near unbelievable nature, the laid back lifestyle, and a deeper connection to the land around makes me think that your state motto has always said it best: "Maine, the way life should be."
Yeah ... the cold's beginning to get to me, which is strange, because my favorite thing is skiing, but it's really an amazing place, one of the safest places on earth, and a great place to raise a family ... great schools, great opportunities, environments, experiences, diverse people, colleges ... glad to hear you've had such nice memories here, and I hope they continue. If it weren't for the property taxes, it'd be just about perfect! (Or pretty close).
