The second pot of coffee is about to boil as we move through a soggy, rainy day here on the Mountain. We're catching the edge of a nor'easter, and it's cold and wet here. North of here, they're going to get flooding and some snow.

Our minds are there, but with sunshine added, as we make plans and hunt for a house for summer vacation, likely in Maine again. I have no idea how you found a house or planned a vacation before the Internet arrived. I've looked through at least 80 listings today and narrowed it down to about 20 that have the right combination of quiet, room, and price, all in about 2 hours.

Coffee's on.
