We are back to being 3191 miles apart, and, boy, do I miss MAV and beautiful Maine.

This was my longest visit to Maine yet, and it felt really good to fall into the rhythm of MAV’s everyday life. I was so happy to be there and to share in her world, to worry with her about her sick cat, to visit the restaurants and markets where everyone knows her by name, to eat at her table, to listen to her sing a duet with her nephew.

Our time spent 0 miles apart was very intimate and special, but, as in all that we do, we were documenting things along the way. We have a few stories to tell and many photos to share from our visit that you’ll find in the newest issue of 3191 Quarterly. I think it will make it a very memorable issue
