Morning came early today as the whole crew piled into the Toyota shortly after five for a trip up Cadillac Mountain to greet the sunrise. It was mild but very windy with lots of fog drifting in and out while we waited. The sky was colorful early and the sun made its appearance right on time. Everyone should see this at least once. This time of year this is the first light on the continental US. We immediately drove to Bar Harbor for breakfast sandwiches at the “Slice of Eden.” Not a replacement for the Morning Glory but maybe nothing will be as unique. A walk on Jesup Path in the morning light was more conducive for photos than early evening from the night before. Another half hour spent on the Steamship Dock at Seal Harbor was rewarding. Cindy and I then spent an hour on Schooner Head watching eiders and waves. Mesmerizing. An early lunch at the aways good Galyn’s preceding a two hour shopping and looking at Bar Harbor before heading back to the rental house sated with seafood and ice cream. Cindy and I made coffee and sat on the chairs on “our” beach for a while till it got chilly.

Update Cadillac - where, what and with whom — for his fans
I was up early, full of vim and vigor (Ed. Note: Being drug out out of the comforter and pushed into the car is not vim nor vigor) to see the mountain named for me in all its morning glory. I was not disappointed. It is good to have your expectations met and the high quality of the things associated with my name can only enhance the future film roles I will be offered. Although they are slow in coming and only two - very average - suggestions have made the way to Nearly Canada. I did not have my photographer in time because of my morning duties - so the spectacular crown will have to wait till tomorrow.
