in my secret life
There’s just something about a nighttime view of a restaurant full of people…
Also, if you’re in Old Port and in need of a sweet treat, I can definitely vouch for the cookies from Standard Baking. On a cold day, a cookie and a coffee will turn a Regular Afternoon into an Exception Afternoon. Just like that.

the on-time departure
I guess my recent frustrations with airline travel (and the fun of lots of delays) showed up when I watched the ferry to Little Diamond Island depart exactly on time. It was an amazing, unfamiliar concept.
It’s just a shame that a ferry from coastal Maine to the plains of Texas is not an actual travel option.
