I've been on hiatus for the last few weeks. Actually, I've taken some personal time in between consulting appointments and I foolishly decided to fly rather than use my normal mode of transport; driving. I reasoned that the distance involved made it more economical to fly, considering stopping for meals and paying for lodging on the coast-to-coast trip. I also thought that I would get to the California North Coast faster even though I would still have to rent a car and drive the remaining three hours to Mendocino. I was wrong.

Last week I was on the road (of course). I had decided to make a last trip for this year to my Northern-most client. They are located in Scarboro, Maine. You might expect that I found a good restaurant in the area, and you would be right. Bayley's Lobster Pound at Plummer Island, is right on an inland bay with a decent view of the water and truly marvelous fresh lobster.

I get a lot of time to think as I cruise across the US. Over the last two weeks I traveled between Maine and Arkansas with two side trips to Atlanta and Indianapolis. For a change, I'm not even going to go into the foods I encountered along the way. Some left fond memories while others (very few) would have been better viewed at 65 miles per hour as I drove by the restaurants.
