The sixth stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine is Paris! Paris, Maine is believed to have been named after the city in France, but no one seems to be able to explain why. I find it interesting though that this land granted in 1771 to 60 people for their service in the French and […]
The pages of rock history are filled with stories about fans sneaking into hotel rooms just to be close to their idol. So I knew it was only a matter of time before one followed me home. Recently we returned from yet another successful stop on my world tour of Maine, and discovered a feathered […]
Unexplained objects flying at speeds that defy the laws of physics. Reverse engineering of crashed alien technology. Threats and physical harm to those seeking answers. Sounds like the plot of a blockbuster UFO movie, tv series, or documentary, right? But it was actually groundbreaking testimony under oath, before a bipartisan committee, streamed live for the […]
On this part of the journey on Asa’s World Tour of Maine, it felt good to be out of the rain, so we headed to Norway, Maine. Located along the shores of Lake Pennesseewassee, Norway was settled in 1786 by veterans of the American Revolutionary War. It was originally known as Rustfield, not because the […]
Bret Michaels of Poison was in our neck of the woods this weekend. Well technically he was in New Hampshire not Maine. But he did perform near where I was born! As part of his Parti-Gras tour, he’s inviting famous singers to join him onstage. So I assumed I would receive an invitation and backstage […]
As the unrelenting heatwave continues to blanket parts of the country, we once again have rain in the forecast here in New England. At first I blamed Asa for doing too many rain dances, as the reason why Mother Nature won’t share our rain with the rest of the country. But then I stumbled upon […]
Asa here. All superheroes have their kryptonite, even my big brave brother, Chuck Billy. Earlier this week he shared his perspective on rescuing us from the chirping smoke detector, and how he may have needed to relieve himself after the fright was over. This isn’t the first time Chuck Billy has felt the need to […]
We are going from the Heart of Poland to the Heart of the Lakes Region for the fourth stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine! We are rocking in Naples, Maine! Named for Naples, Italy, because according to Maine Memory Network, “the curve of the bay by the village resembled that of the Italian city.” The town […]
It happened again. My peaceful night’s sleep was interrupted by the jarring noise of the smoke alarm in my room chirping a low battery alert. Mom, who I’m not sure has ever enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep, heard it too, and was immediately there to rescue Asa and me. As soon as she flung open […]
As you know, Mom and Dad have that ridiculous “Four Paws on the Floor” rule, which means we’re not allowed on the furniture. Now being a good boy myself, I never break that rule. Asa, on the other paw, prior to his eye surgery was a rebel and would frequently jump up on the couch […]
