Footbridge Lobster Rolls: Voted Number One in the State of Maine

This sick lobster roll is the best I've ever had. It was about $14, and comes from Footbridge Lobster Rolls of Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, Me.

It was 100 percent meat, claw (as you can see easily) and tail, on a traditional New England style hot dog bun. Footbridge offers it with butter, mayo, either on the side, or plain. I had mine straight up, and didn't miss the oil at all.

My server said the meat was particularly fresh, but given the location and the fact that this shack is owned and operated by a real Maine lobsterman, I doubt the meat at Footbridge is ever not fresh.

At the end of the day, this is the best lobster roll ever. Must have had close to a pound of meat. Maybe the server was indulging me, but I went back and had a second roll and got the same fill, and another for my wife also the same.

Barnacle Billy's up the street is well worth a visit, but don't get your lobster rolls there. A stroll across the parking lot and over to Footbridge should be a daily must for every day you're lucky enough to visit Ogunquit.

NFL Extra Points: Ad for dads


So you can get an NFL Extra Points card and collect points on everyday purchases, and then cash those points in for NFL experiences? I guess the offer appeals to this dad, who's clearly indulging his daughter since there's something in it for him, too.

Community of Dads

Walking Lila in park this a m. Another dad with baby in stroller across lawn calls over, she's sleeping, right?

I look at lila and yell back no she's wide awake.

Other dad smirks and says no, your wife!

Secret to watching kids and catching a break

Everybody wants to be watched while they are doing their thing. So when my kid is about to jump off the big slide all it takes is eye contact and a big wow. As long as I watch what she's doing she's so happy. I can sit on the side, go on my smartphone and relax in general. Not that this qualifies as amazing father hood. But sometimes a guy needs a break, right?

My other little one loves when I pull out the camera and start shooting. She's not even a year old And she mugs for the camera like a star. Again everyone loves to be you watched whatever they're doing.
