David Harbour attending Family Business Beer Co.’s Grand Opening in Long Pine - September 10, 2022

Well, if they hadn’t said anything no doubt I would have come to pester you eventually. David, stop with that, seriously. You know I’m always so happy to see that face of yours. That’s good to hear, but I’m sure you would be giving them a hard time back. Please do, I want to hear everything about your time in London, every little detail. Now you’re just going to make me blush with that, but I’m glad we can see each other more often now that we’re living closer to one another. It’s always so weird going from seeing you all day every day, to going basically years without much contact. I mean, the furniture could be in a better place than it is in now, nothing wrong with wanting to see if it will look better somewhere else. I’ll help of course. That sounds good, how about today? I’m only unpacking anyway and I could do with the help, as well as catching up with one of my favourite people.

I know you would’ve because I probably would’ve started pestering you to get out here to at least visit me. Alright, alright! I’m just messing with you – I know you can’t stay away from this handsome guy. Oh yeah, they think they’ve got a leg up on me because I’m the “old man” on the cast but they’re wrong if they think I won’t screw around with them. I’ll catch you up to speed on everything as soon as I can. I’m glad too – it’s always been nice counting on filming and interviews to see you but now we can practically see each other whenever we want. Mount Meadow, beware. It is weird but hey, no need to worry about that now, at least for the time being. You’re right, there’s nothing wrong with that at all, even if we just move everything a couple inches to the left or right. Today would be perfect – I don’t have anything going on in my world. We’ll unpack, catch up and if it gets too late, we can order some takeout. Sounds like a perfect day to me.

You know me, Grace – I’m a little old school when it comes to stuff like TikTok. But I’ve been cracking up for weeks now about the whole Chrissy, Wake Up remix. I know I’m late to the party on that one but I get a pass because I’m not as into that kind of stuff. I know you have to have heard it – does it get stuck in your head like it gets stuck in mine? I was making coffee this morning and I caught myself humming it like it was just another song on the radio. That’s pretty bad, right?

❝ I wouldn’t say I’m new here. Not exactly. I’ve visited Mount Meadow more times than I can count. It’s such a lovely place, with such wonderful people. Now that I get to call it home, during my favourite season of the year, with my dearest friends so close by… I am so happy! But before I head back to the house and make an ill-fated attempt to unpack, first thing’s first: where’s the best place to get a nitro cold brew around here? ❞

It’s always nice to get the lay of the land before you make the official move. I just had to go on the word of everyone I know here but I’d trust a good majority of them with my life. They didn’t disappoint. I like your positive attitude – some people are miserable about moving, I’m no exception to that sometimes, but you see the silver lining. When you find a place, let me in on the secret because I’m fresh off the plane myself. I heard there’s a coffee shop/bookstore combo deal in downtown – I think that sounds like a good place to start. What do you think about two newbies hitting the streets together to grab a cold brew?

David, I was wondering how long it would take for you to realise I’m here. As soon as I found out you were here it pretty much sealed the deal for me. I hope these kids haven’t been giving you too much of a hard time. Things have been great, what about with you? I hope you’re doing okay. Both plans sound very tempting I have to say, do I only get one night to enjoy this homemade cider a la David or can I chose any night? That way we can do the party and have a laid back night. You know I do have some furniture pieces that were put in the wrong place, you’re more than welcome to come help out, I miss that face of yours.

It didn’t take long – you can thank Keery and Misha for that, they’re pretty nosy guys apparently. Aw, come on, don’t start with the flattery, you know you were dreading seeing this ugly mug for the hundredth time this year. No, as much as they can be pests sometimes, they’ve been treating me alright. Things are good, I can’t complain. I just got back from London so I have a lot of stories to share with you about that. Nope, you can choose any night your heart desires – there’s always plenty of room on my schedule to spend time with one of my favorite people on the planet. Are you using the furniture as as excuse to see me or is it actually in the wrong place? Either way, kudos to the people who put it in the wrong place because I was thinking I needed a good reason to swing by. How about I do you one better and bring this cider over and help you out with the rearranging? My place looks like a bomb went off in it still. 

You’re a sight for sore eyes. I was starting to think I was stuck here with all these crazy kids and then you showed up. I know it hasn’t been that long since we did that run of interviews together but how’ve things been? Taking care of yourself? I think Joe’s got some welcome party planned for everyone but if you want a laid back night with just you, me and a good homemade cider a la David, I’d be more than okay with that. Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with in the meantime – I’m at your disposal, Noni.
