Here's a tip: go to the Blue Spoon on the top of Munjoy Hill. Order a Peak Pale Ale and drink it quickly while pretending to peruse the menu. Let the crisp, hoppy goodness wash away the day's challenges. Relax. Smile. Order another one. At the same time order the Pan Seared Scallops.
Nurse your Pale. Eat the scallops slowly and savor every bite. They are one of the world's great foods.
Finished? You can order the house salad, the pork loin or the hanger steak, stick with the Pale or wade into a nice red and have a meal fit for a king. You could also leave, walk over to Colucci's and get an italian sandwich and a 6-pack of PBR. Consume that at home and you've still had a meal fit for royalty. The Scallop-and-Pale combo is that good.

Hi, my name is Luke; I run www.blogaboutbeer.com. I didn't see an email address anywhere on your blog so I figured this was the best way to get in touch with you. A few of us Portland-based beer bloggers have gotten together to form The Maine Beer Writer's Guild and would like to invite you to join. It's a really, really informal organization that's really just an excuse to get together once a month at a local bar, drink some good beer and talk about beer, blogging and whatever else comes up (we figured by giving the group a name, it'd buy us some legitimacy).
Anyway, if you're interested or would like some more info, please feel free to email us at contact@mainebeerwriters.org
Our next meeting is going to be April 2nd. I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Luke

Is the Beer Locavore on the wagon on something? Or is this part of another writer's strike? This site is getting stale....
Luke-
Thanks very much and sorry for the slow response.
I'd love to join your group but will miss this week (on the road again).
Snoop-
Not on the wagon but in a terrible slump--writer's blog or something. I'm back on it now!
Pete
