  • Abby's Road: The challenges of gift giving

    I like to give gifts that can be measured calorically. In my book, you haven’t really said thank you, or Happy Birthday, or sorry about your appendix, if you haven’t handed over a bottle of wine, or a cake made of cookies, or the gluten-free brownies you doubt are at all enjoyable.

  • Letter: Brigham backs Hillman in Cape election

    Beware the single-minded, single-agenda candidate for elected town office. In challenging times, the citizenry is better served by a team of super-heroes than a collection of lone stars. Cape Elizabeth needs people like David Hillman on the School Board. He is a thoughtful, deliberate decisi...
