The Notebook may be in hibernation, but the people behind the Notebook are not. Keep checking this blog in the days and months ahead for reports from the coast of Maine (and from New York City and from the Vancouver Olympics) on nature, science, art, sports, magazine news and a whole lot more. There's even an interesting tale to tell about this, my first effort to actually post a photo and some words—would you believe that at this moment I am in the middle of a 911 incident, with police pulling out handcuffs, two men yelling, blood being cleaned up...and I am sitting in the New York Public Library?!!! Get me back to the peacefulness of Maine!
