Moving Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I write frequently about accepting change, but honestly, I do not like it very much. In the last 26 years of my professional career, I have held three positions, and it took a lot for me to transition. After eight years with the state, an offer of a position which would allow me to use my post-graduate degree drew me to work for a private agency. Six years later, when that agency was purchased by a larger company, I took the risk of striking out on my own. The first office I rented in downtown C
The Road Goes Ever On (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thirty-three years ago, I packed up most of my clothes, a few posters, my CD collection, and a new Lego set into the family’s white Nissan minivan for the trip south. Goodbye to Lincolnville, goodbye to people who had known me all my life, to start an adventure in a new place, where no one had any preconceived notions of who Eddie O’Brien is. I had a strong love for this little place that raised me, even then, but I also wanted nothing more, that summer that I was 18, than to get out. To be some

Read excerpt
This isn’t a philosophical question; really, who was this Lincoln? It really isn’t much of a mystery, but not something that I ever recall being talked about. Some might reflectively think of Abraham Lincoln, but of course our town predates that great President’s birth. No, Lincolnville was named for Benjamin Lincoln, second in command under General George Washington, and the first Secretary of War for the infant nation of the United States. A native of Hingham, Massachusetts, Lincoln was a weal
65 Years Ago Today (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“65 years ago today. Dad opened Western Auto in Camden.” This was the first social media post that I saw yesterday morning. August 1, 1961. Well before my time, the store opened at the corner of Washington and Elm, beneath the Opera House, where the Camden Town Office is housed today. My memories of the place at its original location are vague, though I remember going in with my parents a few times. If I could go back in time, it would be to 1982, to snap up Kenner’s line of Indiana Jones action
