Stalking Stephen King

We started out today by meeting the Acadia park ranger, Jonathan, who told us about what we would be doing the rest of the week. It's still raining and a lot of roads on the island are flooded. So far, we've had three inches of rain and are expecting three more inches.

Since we aren't scheduled to work for the park, Jonathan gives us directions to Stephen King's house in Bangor (about an hour from the park) and we decided to go and stalk the man.

His house is red and rather large. The gate is opened but I cannot convince the students to go inside and sit on the porch (I am such a good advisor!) I am able to convince Layla that the raven perched on the roof is actually a camera. Really! I asked her how many birds she knew that sat in the rain and moved their head from side to side. He He He...I am so bad!

While we are taking pictures, a nice car with tinted windows drives by real slow. We know it was Stephen! He didn't get out and shake our hands! What a bum!

I have read a few Stephen King books but am not a big fan of scary stuff. I loved Needful Things until the end and thought it was too much when we went walking around downtown Bangor and they had a thift store that was actually called Needful Things. There is no way I would ever shop there!
