Time to look at New Hampshire through the eyes of a newcomer! What do we do differently that people from elsewhere think is weird? The answer is...A LOT OF THINGS.

A couple of days ago I got a call from Maine Medical Center (MMC) reminding of a doctor's appointment for my daughter, Vikki. I told them on the call I would be there. I get there and overlooked an ultrasound that was part of the visit, which was slated in just before the appointment. Oops.
