Deep Water Man














"Oh, yessuh..."

OK, so Page visited and read Robert McCloskey all weekend to Elsie in his sweet Mainer accent. It's really much better than mine, and I think Elsie realized it halfway through "One Morning in Maine". His pronunciation of HAH-BUH and FAH-THUH was just so much more authentic. But I can't help it, I'm from Wisconsin.

We went to Swan Meats for lunch and Page chatted up the sausage guy and disappeared with him in the back while I was buttering Elsa's bread. Brian returns smiling after being given a tour of the smokehouse. A tour! I buy my casings there by the ten pound bag! I buy slabs of bacon and cords of sausage! I've never been invited on a "tour"!
