Grandpa Bill today revisits my most favorite element of retirement. One of my bucket list "things" I want to do, is  now being achieved.You see my wants and needs are quite minimalistic when compared to most. Humor is the key element to enrich the human psyche positively.

• Endorphins: The brain’s natural pain reliever-Laughter. A good belly laugh can do wonders for your state of mind. Along with releasing endorphins, laughter alters levels of serotonin and dopamine.

Today Grandpa Bill narrates a Book that I have referenced many times over the last 23 years since its  original publication. Entitled Portland Undercover

How to Visit New Englands Hippest City without Looking Like a Tourist by Chris Barry.

Chris Barry was  then, a roving field reporter for a local rag newspaper,CBW The Casco Bay Weekly.This publication was geared to the arts and entertainment, hospitality businesses, gift shops and the like a whats happening around town type subjects. Chris Barrys was a roving the Old Port District, then very much a "Tourist Trap"

Maine is Vacationland. Obviously those big cruise ships and the Tourism itself accentuated PROFITS for our hotels, restaurants,  those peripheral ferry boats, cab companies that help the tourists enjoy both the natural beauty and architecture, Not to Mention our World Famous Art Museum , Symphony and more..

With a very comedic slant. The Foreword & Parts of the first chapter will be narrated in todays episode.
