My Memorial Day weekend was eventful. We went to the camp in Maine. This is usally a nice time. We do yard work. Pick up branches. Hang out. It was a nice time this weekend too. However the bugs made it a bit difficult. I got eaten alive by the black flies. And lucky me found a tick embedded in my right ear. I had a hard time getting it out. B managed to get it out of my ear. However it looks like it wasn't actually in my ear. B was able to flick it off with some work. I never drew blood. The tick head doesn't appear to still be in my ear. At first I was strssed out about it being a deer tick....and the whole lyme disease thing. After a closer look we believe it was a wood tick. We also realized that if the tick was hanging there that it couldn't have been for too. long. Certainly less than 12 hours. BUT we did decide to keep the tick and keep a lookout for a rash and/or other lyme disease symptoms.

We watched a bunch of episodes of the Deadliest Catch yesterday. I couldn't stop watching once I turned it on. The Discovery Channel was running a marathon. If you get a chance definately check this show out.

I recently met Sam Seidel and his wife Ann at a birthday party. Sam is running for Cambridge City Council. After speaking with him for a bit and scanning his website I think he is a good candidate. I like his ideas about parking in Cambridge. When I met Sam I informed him that I was not a resident of Cambridge, but would pass the word along. So here you go....vote Sam Seidel for City Council!

I went to see my primary care physician for my yearly physical. She said everything looked good. Having dinner with Cyn and Steph tonight. Getting together with a colleague who is visiting from out of town tomorrow night. My mother is feeling a little overwhelmed in her new job because no one seems to have taken the time to train her. I hate this. My supervisor is out of the office for the next three weeks. She had rotator cuff surgery this week. We might be going to Lewiston, ME for Memorial Day weekend. Too bad it is going to rain. I am sick of the cold and rain. We might stick around Somerville instead. I hated the season finale of the L Word. It was all filler. I am tired of Betty. Stood out in the rain to see the Butchies last weekend. They were playing at Youth Pride. We were probably the oldest people there, but it was fun to see the Butchies. We went to the new Danish Pastry House in Medford last weekend. It is a mighty tasty place. I am definately going back.

Did you know that May is National Hepatitis Awareness Month? Well now you do. This is the month to education people about the liver and the over 100 diseases that affect this football shaped amazingly important organ.

We went to the Living Well With Liver Disease" event at the Sheraton in Newton last weekend. This years event was great. I would encourage anyone with liver disease and/or their family members to attend next year.

Our CSA share is about to get started in a couple of weeks. We cannot wait.

We went to see Saving Face at the 21st Annual Boston Gay and Lesbian Film Festival at the MFA last night. The movie is very funny and totally worth seeing. See it if you can.

Mom started a new job at the hospital recently. I am proud of her. She has been through so much in the past two years. I had my bone density test. They told me I was dense. This is good news. I had my enzymes tests done too. They are looking great. I got a haircut. I am back to getting in done at Great Cuts. I cost a third of the price and it looks exactly the way I want it to. Went to see Amy Ray at the Paradise recently. I do not love her solo stuff. I am loving the L Word. I'm disappointed that the season is nearly done. I love Tina. Dana and Alice are great together. I am liking Bette again. Jenny is just as annoying. Helena is beautiful, but too controlling. Shane has grown on me. I have no thoughts on Carmen. And Kit is just amazing. I am looking forward to the season premier of Queer As Folk.
