Do I know you? Were you with us for the Ghost Tour??? Were you the one with the “babe”? Wait a minute. I know you. Rather, your exhaust! The Maine EPA sent me a letter stating that we violated every sound ordinance in the State of Maine and in the manual. There are fines to pay. What’s your address and I will forward it to you. Also, I still am paying for Mateo’s psychologist cause every time he even sees my car he starts to cry and says, “oh oh”.
Seriously though, no event would be the same without you and Kaye and thank you very much for your very kind words. I do, however, need to correct one or two things you wrote. Thankfully I need not “call in any favor” as 1) I don’t do that and 2) no place or person has ever needed me to. Every place we go, yes, treats you like a celebrity—as part of my entourage?—because you deserve it. 100% true. They know that you’ve traveled a great distance to attend and want to treat you with celebrity-status but, also, many of these people have been long-time friends of mine so there’s no favors to call in.
All I am trying to do is share the joys of life with all of you and in spite of this year being extraordinary in so many ways, there’s still lots of joy to be found and if I provided that to you and the others, then I’ve fulfilled my goal. (And while it does take lots of e-mails and a few phone calls here and there, you’d be surprised how easy it is for me to do).
Thank you again Josh for coming and embracing it all so beautifully.
Jay

My dear Graham. Please excuse Josh. You are seeing it incorrectly—everyone knows the fork goes on the left!—simply because you’re looking at it backwards. Must be a U.S./England thing. I’ve corrected it here. Gotta look after my boy.
Emily Post would be proud.

Mr. Levine, what a eventful weekend thanks to you and everything you do. My hat off to you sir. Dzemila and myself still are reminiscing on the amazing memories that will last a lifetime. We are still speechless on how to exactly put it all in words. Like I’ve been saying purchased my dream car but little did I know gained friendships of a lifetime! Now that is priceless!
Timeless works of art! Morning lineup RAWR! How beautiful is this? Couldn’t ask for a better day! Wine and relax! Absolutely! There’s just something about Maine... Speechless Dzemila’s Cairns What a gorgeous morning!
Thanks again for a memorable good time, Jay. We enjoyed the new stops this year and took the opportunity to mix in some of our favorites from the past. Otto pizza, Maine Meade Works, Hardshore Distilling.
From Cincinnati, here is Fiona celebrating one of the latest releases from Rookwood Pottery, the maker of that ornament:
See, that’s the problem. If everyone called me Mr. Levine—or Sir—there might actually be a 2021 event. But I don’t see that happening. Look at how casually—and with disdain if not irreverence—Nati refers to me. (It’s akin to giving me the finger). You and Dzemila are a joy.
Changing the subject and at the risk of repeating some of DJS’s photos in his DropBox, I just airdropped these off of Liz’s cell phone, all from Nervous Nellie’s and Peter Beerits sculptures. Whimsical and magical! (That gives me an idea: 2021 Jaguar F-Type Magical Mystery Tour).

Mr. Levine - do not let anyone or anything deter you from thinking about 2021 F-Type Magical Tour! Like I’ve mentioned I will be hinting here and there in the coming months. I think it’s pretty safe to say that when Mr. Levine decides to inform about any event whether that be event or non event / tour or non tour we definitely all on standby waiting to RWAR into Maine.
Mr. Levine, I’ll call you anything you want. (and then some).
It’s the “then some” which I am worried about.
U were missed Lance.
Your box, filled with stuff, should arrive any minute now.
While I missed having the BRG monster with us you might be interested to know that with my car having only 400 miles on it (i.e. I kept revs low), Liz and Scarlet in the car, one cell phone with GPS on my knee and making the occasional phone call with my other cell phone...well...let’s just say speeds did not hit the usual we are accustomed to. (That did not diminish our pleasures one mph...I mean one bit).
U know you always have an open invite here; even for a “private” event.

You guys obviously are looking forward to a 'staycation' next year...
Welcome to the 2021 Jaguar F-Type Mirage Tour. It might look like it’s happening but really is just a figment of your imagination. Mbourne and Unhingd are out. Carbuff2 is in.
I almost forgot to include a book I gifted everyone attending the Ghost Tour (and, in part, to “make up” for the unraveling of an event I had [all] in the works to climb Mount Katahdin a year ago or so ago), Greatest Mountain; Katahdin’s Wilderness by Connie Baxter Marlow. For only the second time in my life, I wrote the author of a book which truly inspired me (fitting when you read the inscription)—and after having climbed Mount Katahdin 5 times in two months (and three times subsequent to that)—and shortly after I wrote her; a direct descendant of Percival Proctor Baxter, who gifted over 250,000 acres (it now comprises 314 square miles) to the people of Maine, she wrote me back. We’ve been close friends ever since. She even gifted me a precious first edition of her book which I treasure and which was published in 1972! (Not the book depicted here).
*Unhingd, Death1ord, and GGG: your copies are going in the mail today.
