The Sewer-Worker's Wife

Maybe I should change the name of this blog for the summer. Husband is temporarily working for Bangor's Public Works, the Sewer Department, as a laborer. Last summer Husband did the scholarly thing and attended a 3 week workshop on Longfellow at Bowdoin; this summer it's 6 weeks of jackhammering manhole covers and sewer flushing.

I married this man knowing he had a flair for the unusual and I am very proud of him for venturing out of his comfort zone of indoors and non-manual work. Husband apparently loves what he's doing. He's a poet in a hardhat.
