Dear friends,
My sister-in-law, Eileen, always said Halloween was the official start of home heating season. No matter how cold it got before then, they held out.
We aspired to do the same at our house, but every year we failed.
This year, we’re making another attempt — layered in hats, wool socks and wrapped in blankets, pretending it’s not cold.
We look ridiculous.
What’s your threshold?
In today's newsletter: The undefeated Telstar boys soccer team is eyeing a playoff berth; free admission at Maine Mineral and Gem Museum tomorrow; and much more.
Thanks for reading,
Rose Lincoln

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"It's from out of left field for most people who are used to seeing an Applebee's or a McDonald's commercial. That's the culture we've been fed. I'm doing it my way and we'll see what happens,"
