As Wicked opens in theaters across the country today, I thought I’d take this opportunity to remind everyone about the original Wicked Witch of the West’s connection to Maine. In the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz, Margaret Hamilton played the iconic role of the Wicked Witch of the West. It was the sixth movie […]
Editor’s Note: While we continue to fix some glitches here, and Asa recovers from his surgery, please enjoy this tour stop from earlier this fall in Calais from Asa’s World Tour of Maine. Next week once again the Pilgrims will be taking center stage on Thanksgiving. Now don’t get me wrong, I appreciate all they […]
Asa here. As an up and coming rock star, I had a taste of what the lifestyle really entails, and I’m not sure I like it. Oh don’t get me wrong, I love writing my parodies! But it’s partying like a rock star that doesn’t agree with me. You see last Thursday I visited my […]

First settled in 1774, it was incorporated as Belgrade in 1796, named after the largest city in Serbia, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe and the world. However, exactly why that name was chosen for this Maine town remains a mystery […]
As Billy Joel once sang, “When will you realize Vienna waits for you?” Well wait no longer! This week’s stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine takes us to Vienna! Settled in 1786, and incorporated in 1802, Vienna, Maine is named for the capital of Austria. Why that name was chosen by Daniel Morrill, who […]
Well once again Daylight Saving Time has come to an end, leaving dogs across the country in a state of confusion. We may have gained an hour by turning the clocks back, but our meals are now served late. Why do humans insist on changing dinnertime? Don’t they know that Golden Retrievers run on Golden […]
