This week Asa’s World Tour of Maine is coming to you from Bath! Located near the mouth of the Kennebec River, this area first attracted European settlers in 1607 at the nearby Popham colony.

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Take Your Lllama to the Beach Day, with your hosts Asa and Llily Llama!

The Rolling Stones brought their world tour to New England last night. Unfortunately, despite practicing his moves like Jagger, Asa did not receive an invitation to join them on stage…or even to be in the same stadium…or state. Not to be deterred though, we are moving forward with the release of Asa’s parody of the […]
It’s been 9 years since Chuck Billy first shared this story about the time I heroically rescued him from ginormous squeaky toys at Paws Walk 2015. Back then, I may have given him the impression that I was charging to his rescue. But in reality, I totally misread the situation and thought we were playing. […]
