Portland

My dad's like, that's not an option.

And then I went directly from there to Portland, Maine.

I lived in an all-girls sober house for a year.

And

No, and there was the girls' little area to smoke cigarettes and the guys, you couldn't smoke butts together, nothing like that.

But yeah, then we left, both left at the same time.

And he went Portland, Maine at the time, had a huge recovery community, lots of sober houses, lots of like real recovery.

I don't know how it is anymore.

Not only was it DiBernardo's first goal of the season, and first as a mom, it also marked Bethune's 11th assist of the season, setting a new single-season NWSL record.

Former Portland Thorns midfielder and U.S. Women's National Team legend Tobin Heath set the previous record.

She had 10 assists in the 2016 NWSL season.

Now, many times, athletes only hear about breaking certain records after the game or when they're asked about it by the media.

The current.

main Democratic electorate includes a lot of pretty well-off people in Portland, in Shelley Pingree's district.

They're the ones that Collins is going for, saying, you're not that angry.

You go to New King's protest.

I did get a sense that that is that's much better.

than what Gideon was doing in the second district.

That's most of Maine outside of Portland.

That's, you know, some cities in that, but it's mostly these rural, unincorporated communities that are hard to campaign in.

It's definitely further, but has more options for flights depending on where you are coming from.

We actually flew into Portland, Maine, more particularly because after this trip to Stowe, Brittany, you were meeting with Kim in Portland, Maine, and going to be doing a Maine fall foliage experience and sailing on a 100-year-old clipper boat, which we're going to be talking about and have an episode on.

So be sure to stay into that.

But point being, there are airports in the area that you can fly into.

So let's dive right into our trip.

The first day we left on September 25th, which was a Friday.

We flew from San Diego to Portland.

So basically this was just a travel day.

Now, I'm not talking Minneapolis, Minnesota, or Dearborn, Michigan.

Now I'm talking Portland, Maine, which is a couple hours away from where I'm speaking today at iHeart Studio.

Okay, so it's getting closer and closer and closer.

This is Abdullah, no, sorry, Abdullah Ali Ahmed.

If I'm mispronouncing his name, I don't mean to.

Abdullah Ali Ahmed.

Now, you may say, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, who the hell is Abdullah Ali Ahmed? He is the assistant superintendent for Portland, Maine's public schools.

And apparently now there is a debate going on at the school board level about dogs.

I run a farm called Winslow Farm in Falmouth, Maine.

We're right outside of Portland, Maine.

I actually grew up on this farm as a kid, and then I took it over – Started the CSA about 16 years ago.

So it's a small scale organic vegetable operation.

It's been a kind of transitional period, like over the last ten to six years.

But yeah, I've been refining that and developing that sort of a model for a little while now.

We do a little bit of wholesale around to the greater Portland area, like restaurants and marketplaces.

And then when we do some cut flowers and then I actually own the business with my mom and she does like a potted

It's now like four ish.

And she goes, but it's delayed out of Portland, Maine.

So it's not actually taking off till seven 10.

It's going into Atlanta.

So shellfish, of course.

I bought some lobster in Portland.

It was 2008.

Drove it back to New York.

It's nice to have grandchildren right next door, as I mentioned earlier.

And, uh, and, uh, also with my son and daughter-in-law up in Portland, Maine, which, uh, they're not that far away.

So I'm just enjoying time with family and then, you know, fitting in my consulting work, um, on a kind of selective basis.

So today, who is your ideal client?
