Thank you to Karen Heck, former mayor of Waterville. And thank you to the four hundred Mainers who overflowed the Waterville VFW, for having my back — and I promise I'll have yours.

Years ago I got a skull and crossbones tattoo with my buddies in the Marines.

I was appalled to learn it closely resembled a Nazi symbol. I altered it yesterday, into something that isn't deeply offensive to my core beliefs.
