Up early and off to hike the Bee Hive. It is one of my all time favorite hikes and Rusty was still here so it was the two of us. The Bee Hive is a lot of up with ladders, open rocks and cliffs but the reward - great views. It is a popular hike so watching the trail from below looks like a hive both in the shape of the mountain and the number of people criss-crossing the rocks. We hiked over the top and then took a brief side trail to The Bowl, a neat, nearly hidden lake with deep blue waters. Back to the house, I had blueberry pie and coffee for lunch, the trip is getting better. Late afternoon the five of us walked Hunter Brook Beach trail and watched the waves lap at the shore, then headed to town for dinner. A new place featuring cheesecake opened in Bar Harbor and they offer sample sized flights, the reviews of the four cheesecake eaters were mixed. My review was not. 

Update Cadillac - where, what and with whom — for his fans

Still whirling with my celebration. My future board chairman and my financial advisor brought me a gift today, I will share with all of you later after the emotion of the moment allows me to reflect on their joy of giving. My first script idea came in today. Moose Tracks: The making of a hit album. Sounds more like a documentary and may not test my acting skills enough
