Hey all-
Just found out prexar is blocking all Maine gaynet posts. I think I've had
mail from here, but I just want to make sure they're not blocking all gay
things as "spam". Curiously, I still get invites to enlarge my penis. Like
they don't even know I can buy a bigger one when ever I want!

Kinda.... yep. What's your question?

Here are my skill areas... hotels. bars. bars. bars. local brews.
bars. area things to see. bars. I like to drink in the Old Port.
Sisters is a must. Ask questions, I give answers.

We just got back from a couple of miles paddle on the lake. Excellent.
Reminded me of my State O' Maine tartan scarf. Colors chosen for lakes,
trees, and sky. V. nice.

I got my social worker license in the mail yesterday. Something I dread. I
don't like social workers. Anyway... they make decent money and get great
benefits and I hope I won't be the type of social worker hypocrite I hate.

Now I need to go make some dinner. Chicken and salad. Yum.

Ah, I thought so, but I didn't want to assume that you'd want to be the
virtual tour guide.

With my current job running out at the end of the year, and nothing in
particular on the horizon here, maybe it's time for a change. I'm
exploring the notion of relocating to another part of the country.
My mother's family is from central Vermont and the northern Champlain
valley, and one of my brothers lives in the northern foothills. I've
always thought it would be nice to spend more time in the region, but
maybe not that far north. I like to play in cities, but don't especially
like living in really big ones, so I'd avoid someplace like Boston.
Burlington is nice, but a little too close to family.

Bars would be an excellent place to start. General atmosphere. And what
the economy is like, of course.

Pretty. When it comes to lakes and trees, I'm better an looking and going
"Oooooh, ahhhhh," than hiking or paddling (a boat), tho I'm been known to
do some if the company is right and the trail is easy.

I know some social workers who never gave up their ideals. Makes their
jobs harder than they already were, in many ways, but they keep at it.
Working within large institutions, as many of them do, makes change
seem futile much of the time (like most jobs). Where social workers have
their greatest impact, it seems to me, is on the broader political scene
through NASW and the state associations, and on the mundane level in
helping individuals get through these huge systems. Good luck.
