In Maine, You don’t Need to Throw Out Expired Pandemic Toilet Paper
Believe it or not, there are things about 2020 I miss. As a complete introvert in most circumstances, I found the first several months of the pandemic to be the best time in my life. Of course, I felt horribly for all the bad that was going on in the world at large, but my life was almost idyllic at that point. I love staying home and enjoying quiet time with my wife. And for the first time ever, we had lots of it.

Maine’s Unique Border Town… Where You Go North by Heading South
Maine has certainly been called a backwards state, but... I feel like generally speaking, I have a pretty good sense of direction. My wife, on the other hand, could seemingly get lost on her way to the living room. She's no dummy, by any means, but not everyone has a great sense of direction. I'm sure it can be developed, but it doesn't seem to be something everyone's born with.

1990 Stephen King Novel Describes Maine’s LaVerdiere’s Super Drug Store Perfectly
If you remember LaVerdiere's Super Drug Store in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, you'll find Stephen King's description of the popular store right on point. LaVerdiere's was based in Waterville, Maine, and at its peak, it had more than 70 stores across three New England states (mostly in small towns). It was the place to go for your prescriptions, basic needs, and things you didn't know you needed. When video arcade games became all the rage in the 1980s, LaVerdiere's started putting video arcades in their stores. As one of those kids, I gave them a lot of business riding my bike across South Paris, Maine, to play Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.

25 Movies With Surprising Letterboxd Scores
There’s something fascinating about the human need to quantify subjective opinions. We rate movies with stars (and even half-stars), we give them thumbs up or down, we aggregate their reviews until we determine if they are “certified fresh.” (What could be more authoritative than certified freshness? Who could argue with that?!?)
