The last time I saw Alex Wilder, he was decked out in John Lennon glasses, rocking a sold-out performance of A Day in The Life, a multimedia Beatles tribute show he helped create several years ago. It’s just after 8 am when he arrives at the coffee shop in his hometown of Camden where we’ve […]
Well, I’m pretty jet-lagged! I returned yesterday from Stanford University, where I was a guest and speaker at an international medical conference, Stanford Medicine X. Having the chance to connect with such a wide range of stakeholders in healthcare and medicine — including other patients— was remarkable. Not only were the professional connections invaluable, […]
Lifeflight of Maine, those helicopters you see flying overheard from time to time on their way to a medical center or the scene of an accident, is partially funded through donation. This life-saving service is in its third consecutive year of raising funds through the Islesboro Crossing. This 5k swim from Lincolnville Beach to Islesboro has […]
One of the coolest events of the year here in Maine happens right in my backyard: The Maine Lobster Festival. Since I’m covering it this year, I thought I’d share some of my favorite snaps with you! You can always head over here to see the rest, as I’ll be adding new ones each day from […]

As a Mainer, born and raised, this time of year has always been synonymous with one thing:outta statahs, otherwise known as people “from away” or “summer people.” When I was a kid, they were mostly irksome because they took all the good spots at the beach, the one that I had free reign of from […]
“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke When I was a kid spring only meant one thing: birthday time. I was born in April, and I’ve always found it kind of fitting that each year I get to reflect on my life at […]
In the wake of that insane 70+ car pile up on I-95 North yesterday, I was especially moved by the account of the off-duty EMT who started triaging folks and no doubt saved a few lives/limbs. I’m astounded that no one died. Whenever there’s a potential ‘mass casualty’ event I ask myself if, with the […]
