Stuff About Me

My photo
Keith Michaud
Stockton, California
My name is Keith Michaud and this is “Letters From Away,” a blog written by a Mainer living outside the comfortable and sane confines of New England. The blog is intended for Mainers, whether they live in the Pine Tree State or beyond, and for anyone who has loved ’em, been baffled by ’em or both. Ayuh, I am “from away.” Worse still, I live on the Left Coast – in California. If you want to read more about me, go to the original Letters From Away blog on WordPress.com (the link is below). Enjoy! Or not. Your choice.
