Here I Walk Again in the Rain
Asa here. I decided to write a song to summarize the first leg of Asa’s World Tour of Maine and the summer of 2023. After looking through the photos and swapping tour memories with Chuck Billy, one theme became readily apparent. It rained…a lot! Every weekend with very few exceptions, in fact. So it is […]

Walking and Singing a Tune for Grandpa
As Mom and Asa head off on another walk singing a happy song, I can’t help but smile and think of Grandpa. Grandpa always hummed when he walked. In fact, as a puppy I was convinced that he couldn’t walk without singing a tune. And boy did Grandpa know a lot of tunes! He was […]

Awkward Apology to Feathered Fan
Well this is really awkward. On behalf of Asa’s World Tour of Maine, we’d like to issue an apology to Asa’s feathered fan. You may recall earlier this summer, there was a bird in our garage. At that time, Asa incorrectly assumed she was a fan who followed him home on tour. And I may […]

Summer World Tour Winding Down
As Asa’s World Tour of Maine winds down for the summer, I say it was a big success! Especially since when we set off on this grand adventure, as the tour manager, I really wasn’t sure what to expect, with an up-and-coming rock star, and an inexperienced road crew consisting of Mom and Dad. Yet […]

However, I could not locate the portal itself. That is until this weekend! I have found the portal in my kitchen to […]

That Time I Tried to Ride on a School Bus
As I watched the school bus drive past my house this morning, I was reminded of the kids who use to wait for it near my driveway. Back then I included pausing at the bus stop on my morning walk, so they could pet me. I would happily send them off for the day with […]

Choosing a Dog Trainer
Autumn is a good time not just for humans to go back to school, but for dogs too. Asa and I are strong believers that training is not a one and done event, but instead a lifelong process. Even if you walk on a loose leash out of the obedience class, head held high, with […]

Going Up the Country in Woodstock, Maine
Asa, I have exciting news for you about this stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine! We are going to play in Woodstock…Maine! Alright, so it isn’t the Woodstock in New York where the famous music festival took place in August 1969. But technically that music festival didn’t take place in Woodstock either. It was […]

Delsey the Dog’s Close Encounter
In September 1961 Betty and Barney Hill, along with their dog, Delsey, were heading home to Portsmouth, New Hampshire after spending time in Montreal, Canada. It was late, and they were tired. However, after getting lost trying to find a dog friendly hotel on the outskirts of Montreal, they decided to head straight home. Little […]
