I'm staying in Lenox tonight at the Cranwell. It is pretty nice so far. I'm bummed I won't be able to take advantage of the spa while I am here. I drove out this morning and am leaving tomorrow afternoon. I was at work all day today and will be in the office tomorrow too. I did have a nice dinner with two colleagues at this restaruant called Zinc Bistro. It was yummy. I might stop off at the outlet mall on my way home tomorrow.

I had a wonderful time at Boston Pride this weekend. We went to the Dyke March....had breakfast with friends.....Stood out in the heat to see the parade.......briefly stopped by the festival (it was too hot)........spent a while at the Esme Block Party and checked out the Women's Block party yesterday afternoon. I am exhausted today, but it was totally worth it.

We went to out farm yesterday afternoon. We got there and went right to the potato plants. We smooshed the beatles and their eggs. I was tired...and hot and sweaty. I should prepare myself to do more of this type of work next week when we go. Oh yes and we picked up some tasty vegetables too. Scallions...lettuce.......spinach etc.

I cannot believe they found Michael Jackson not guilty on all charges. What does this say about our justice system?

My mother recently had a scare. She had a mammogram and they found an abnormality. She went for an ultrasound yesterday. They said that they didn't think she had much to worry about. The ultrasound revealed that she had big ducts. Whew! What a relief! This was my mother's first medical issue since her run-in with colon cancer.

I'm a winner! Yes I am! The Curves I belong to recently had a silent auction. Members earned "curves bucks" by answering trivia questions and getting a buck if one exerciesed at least three times a week. In the end I had 34 bucks. Much more than I had expected to have. I used them to bid on two Tupperware bowls and I won. I was pretty psyched. I never win anything.

I had dinner with Kent last night. He is in town for the School for Scanning. We had a nice time. We had yummy burger's at Bartley's Burger Cottage and got coffee at Cafe Algiers. When I first met up with Kent I noticed a big group standing in front of the Harvard Book Store. David Sedaris was reading from his paperback version of Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim . The bookstore had filled up and they decided to put a speaker out front so people could here out there. Kent and I were among the lowly on the street. We only stayed to heard him read one story and then we were off. That being said....what we heard was very funny. It was nice to see Kent. We talked about our jobs, lives, and library school. I had fun catching up.

I should run....I have a lot to do today.
