While on vacation in Maine, my family and I invented a game: “North Shore or coastal Maine”?
We spent four days in Bar Harbor, Maine, a town snuggled in next to Acadia National Park. The town center is down the road of clusters of motels and colonial-era inns, advertising “Acadia in our backyard.” There must be at least three on every block, each commanding its own space with impressive columns or idyllic masonry fit for a postcard. About a fifteen-minute drive down the road rests the center of Bar Harbor: a cluster of streets packed tight with restaurants boasting the best locally caught lobster in the state, lobster ice cream, and redundantly branded apparel.

Welcome to "Coffee Talks"!
Through these refreshing posts (hopefully paired with your favorite caffeinated beverage), I share anecdotes, fun facts, and reflections from my life away from the classroom. So, imagine we are sharing a conversation over coffee (I’ll have an iced chai with oat milk) – you choose the place. I’ll provide the topic. Yesterday was September 1st (when I write this), otherwise known as the first day of fall for many Minnesotans (I do not want to acknowledge the encroaching weekend heat wave). It was also "squash night" at my house. No, not the game of squash – the vegetable. That’s right, my fall stir-crazy roommates and I dedicated an entire evening to preparing a luxurious butternut squash (with its roasted seeds as appetizers), humming along to the Over the Garden Wall playlist, and fangirling over season two of Heart Stopper. It was an evening celebrating fall and the home we built together on the hill.
