Berkeley Cottage

That thing in the doorway is not a racoon, although we have plenty of those. That's our cat Chesapeake -- weighing in at about 19lbs. If you're curious to know more, we live in an eroding ravine immediately on the Hayward Fault -- on an active landslide. Yes, we're moving.
Matinicus, Maine Cottage
May 2007
This is our cottage on an island in Maine. (map | wikipedia | Get there | Stay there | Safety Concerns and Provisioning on Matinicus )

We're right nextdoor to the Tuckanuck Lodge. We plan to be on Matinicus every August/September, where feasible. The cottage is outfitted with DSL/Wireless internet, flush toilet, and a full kitchen -- but the furnishings remain extremely spartan. It's not for rent right at the moment.
