I just got back from a week in Provincetown. We had a lot of fun. We went on a Whale Watch. We went to see Suzanne Westenhoefer. Went to the beach...stayed out of the rain. Rode our bikes. Went to the pool. One day we went to see Me And You And Everyone We Know. This movie is great. Go see it if you can.

I saw Jai Rodriguez walking down Commercial street at some point. A couple of days later John Waters rode by me on his bicycle. Cool huh? It isn't very often that you see two famous gay people walking down the street in one week.

So lets talk about food for a bit. We ate dinner at Cafe Edwige one night. I had the most amazing T-Bone steak. We ate at Chester on another night. Chester was good, but not as good as Edwige. We also had dinner at Fanizzi's. I really like Fanizzi's because the food is consistently good. We had brunch at the Martin House on Saturday. They just started serving brunch and more people need to know about it. My cranberry and blueberry waffle was pretty tasty. Of course we consumed a bunch of espresso shakes at Spiritus. Spiritus has the best espresso shake in the world. It costs $6.00, but it is totally worth it. I had lunch at Clem and Ursies one day. I really like Clem and Ursies, but it is totally overpriced. My overall impression of the culinary situation in Provincetown is that you need to pay a lot to get good food. That being said you could probably pay less in Boston and get better quality food. I have only had two meals in Provincetown that I feel were flawless. My meal at Edwige was incredible. The other amazing meal was at Gallerani's. Unfortunately Gallerani's closed about a year and a half ago. The gallerani's chicken was my favorite dish in provincetown for a while. They also had the most amazing lobster corn chowder. It is too bad that Gallerani's closed. Enough about food in Provincetown....

I'm off to see my hepatologist tomorrow. I will most likely have bloodwork done. We'll see what the results say.

I'm going to Lenox for one night at the end of the week. I will be stuck in the office for both days. I hope to get out and enjoy the Berkshires during the late afternoon and evening.
