Adam and I moved to Portland, Maine, on December 26, 1996. I rented a U-Haul trailer; hooked it up to my dark green Ford Explorer; filled it with our clothes, books, beds, and pictures; and off we went. My sister Lynn came with us to help.
I left all the furniture with Len. I wanted a fresh start, a new home, new people, and new things. Portland, Maine, was a breath of fresh air compared to uptight, status-driven Connecticut. I had never liked living there. It was conservative and pretentious even if everyone read the New York Times and thought of themselves as liberal.
