@DillyBean Oh, good to know. Thanks. That's too bad for them.

@Rebecca Minnick@facebook We've fixed the location, thanks. As a child, it always confused me that Longfellow Square was not the place where Longfellow house was. My memory of Novare Res is not that it is on the harbor, but I thought I remembered being able to see further. I'm sure it was the beer.

@bzz_bzz Also, yes, Inn at St. John growing up was in tough shape. It's been redone: http://innatstjohn.com/

@bzz_bzz Uh, I struck a spike, while on a sailboat, growing up there. Thanks for the correction about Longfellow books, though. And good to know about the Fort. Benny's is awesome. Fore Street does have a garden as well as sourcing from local farms.

@Ten Thousand Buckets It was in their first catalogues. Perhaps they changed their minds?

@tomme Thanks Tomme. My family's lived in Maine for over 300 years, so, that for your bonafides comment, but yes, I did misspell J's. Thanks. Will fix.

On The White Tide of Comic Book Heroes

@Gef the Talking Mongoose Thanks. It is so angry-making. She was, for decades, one of the coolest characters in comics, and then she gets played by Halle Berry and then... she's tossed on the married bin. I can get why she fell for the Black Panther, though yes, I see what you mean, but I loved her when she was edgy and running around Tokyo, putting herself back together after Forge took her powers away.

@LondonLee Does creating black characters in 1972 let you off the hook almost 40 years later? I don't think so.

On The White Tide of Comic Book Heroes

@boyofdestiny In the story, Luke complains to Captain America of being made a figurehead. Cap reassures him it's not true, that his leadership is needed. But he's still the only man of color on the team. It does mirror the "black president on top, everyone now giving prizes to white people" effect surrounding the Obama administration, and in the manner of a dream.
