I have been given the privilege of writing this inaugural entry as I listen to Charlie and Benny Breg's soothing baritones on Vacationland broadcasting from WRBC 91.5 (we've all got shows, tune into 91.5fm or look us up)
At this point I am sure you are looking quizzically at the name of our blog. you probably have a ridiculous expression on your face. To save you the embarrassment, here is an explanation and a teaser of what is to come.
The name is derived from a game called Stump, or Nails. This game involves flipping a hammer one full rotation and in one motion, bringing the hammer down on an opposing players nail in a tree stump. Often included is a drink used as a counter weight and for various other purposes... The games origins are not to well known, believed to be started from a college in upstate New York and brought to the leaders of a summer camp on Lake Winnepesaukee in New Hampshire. From there, the game spread far and wide, for obvious reasons.

Speed Stump, is a reference to the playoff that ensues if the two final players knock each other out in the final swing and revenge hit. This round is played one V one and is ridiculously intense but requires zen-like concentration and willpower. This, in essence describes our lives, each and every one of us. We thought you should get a glimpse of this fantastic slurry of Life, Liberty, Music, Maine, and Stump in one fast passed, intense blog.
Stay tuned...
