"There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more."
Lord Byron
LISBON, Maine — We needed to take a long walk in the woods after watching Donald Trump say nothing and loom over Hillary Rodham Clinton like a stalker in a dark alley in Sunday’s debate.
Civility was not on Sunday night’s agenda when the two competitors went head to head for 90 painful minutes. As a family, we are appalled that the man with his filthy mouth and lack of substance is still in the running for president.
I have no confidence in a presidential candidate who has no respect for the opposite sex and no concept of the greater good.
Yeah, I am a liberal democrat who will support Mrs. Clinton despite the email controversy.
Why? None of your damn business! Let’s just say you can’t reason with a narcissist — ever! After all, I am originally from from Massachusetts — and that’s Kennedy country.
Watch PBS' Frontline episode called "The Choice" and you will get the big picture of this horse race.
I voted once for a GOP candidate — and I still regret it. But this candidate might just tear apart the Republican Party with his senseless tirades.
While Republicans spent the weekend abandoning the Donald like passengers on the sinking Titanic, we decided to cleanse our souls of the exasperating Mr. Vile and drove to a place where the soothing waters of the rambling Sabattus River washed away our disgust of a man who treats the Oval Office like a big joke.
My son was home for college and a long walk on the Paper Mill Trail was the right prescription to clear our heads of the traumatic experience of watching another round inanity from the overbearing GOP contender.
The Paper Mill Trail is our favorite haunt. It is paved, safe and the sound of the river’s waters can wipe away anxiety from stressed-out voters who experienced PTSD after Sunday's debate.
The walk is easy and the inclines give you a good workout. Right now, the colors of the foliage are brilliant on the trail and the stunning shades made the three off us feel pretty damn good on a chilly autumn day.
The cool air and the sweet sound of fast-moving water put a spring in our step on the trail where many other walkers had the same idea.
We felt refreshed after our two-mile walk in the sunshine and hopeful that the citizens of this nation will make an informed decision.
But then again, stranger things have happened in politics and some voters are easily swayed by a candidate's empty promises and antics.
