Checking In

The few folks who read my blog have been asking me if I have given up on my blog. For the most part I have...but I'm going to give it one more shot......

We went to Provincetown to celebrate our 6th anniversary last weekend. We had a great time. We stayed at the Oxford Guesthouse on Cottage Street in the West End. If you get a chance to stay here......definately do it. Stephen, Trevor, Pete, Potter, and Jessye are super. I think this is my new favorite place to stay in Provincetown. The gardens were amazing, breakfast was yummy, our room was beautiful, and they had tasty treats out all day long. We had a series of fluky mishaps with telephone service and air conditioning, but they definately went the extra mile to get everything back up and running as quickly as possible. These guys are really great at giving people their space, but also fostering a welcoming environment. On Saturday night they had a cocktail party for the guests. I see why they won the Pink Choice award last year.

We did alot of other fun things in Provincetown too. We went on a whale watch and saw some cool humpback whales. We went to the beach and I got a sunburn. We ate lots of good food at Spiritus , Fanizzis , Terra Luna, Clem and Ursies and Lorraines. We did some shopping. We went to see Jennie McNulty at the Post Office Cafe. She was funny. We spent some time with a few friends too. We did the whole Boatslip, Pied, and Vixen bar circuit. Had fun at the Pied, but could have done without the other two. The streets were filled with roving gaggles of beer drinking girls like every Memorial Day weekend in Provincetown, but I think we did a good job at trying to achieve some peace.

On another front......the Boston Public Librarians will be distributing informational leaflets outside the Boston Public Library Foundation Annual Gala on June 8th from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. They will be gathering at the corner of Boylston and Dartmouth Streets at 6:00 p.m. to give out information relating their unresolved contract negotiations with the City of Boston relating to staffing, salaries, and health care. Join them to show your support! For more information email saveourlibrarians@gmail.com
