Talbot County...

I got out on the water for the first time on Monday with the guy that owns the Sears store here in town. It was beautiful. Talbot (pronounced tall-but) County has over 600 miles of waterfront property, the most of any single county in the US it was pointed out, and people do a darn good job of building impressive houses on it! Paul seemed to know every detail of every home on the banks of the Tred Avon. For example:















the house that Vince Vaugh is running out of is there, and we saw the back of it. No celebrity citings, but it is rumored to be for sale somewhere in the neighborhood of $18 million. Also included were the homes of the inventor of Stove Top stuffing and Pella Windows.

My favorite story was the one of the widow who fell in love with and married the caretaker of the property. She promptly died leaving the caretaker to eventually sell the house and pocket somewhere around $12 million. Not bad.

The water was beautiful as well. I'll look forward to spending a lot more time on the water as the weather grows nicer.

EDIT: Last but certainly not least. Mike came over last Thursday after a day at Osprey Point, and graced me with his presence. We had a great time and marvled that we are both living in the Eastern time zone which would have been inconcievable as we cruised up and down 119th from McDonalds to KenTacoHut.
