GSB and I on Longnook Beach (thanks Diane)

(way too much wacky messy curly hair between us) the weather was incredible, the ocean was incredible, this particular beach was super incredible, everything was off the charts while simultaneously deeply mundane and ordinary (my favorite combination) and so some kind of chapter 2 seems to emerge from chapter 1, a decade ago...

super quiet Friday morning in Somerville

P-Town

I did not eat here but loved the sign.  P-Town is a place I can tolerate well for about 3 hours (the full time allowed on the parking meters there) and then its time to go.

Mussels

I love fresh mussels and these were so delicious; the salad was not so great but the company was the best part.  It almost seems as if this might be turning into a food blog but I have to blame my friend Jill who is a food blogger for influencing me and turning me on to taking pictures of all your food before you eat it.

Preparing for the Herring Run

Every year for thousands of years the herring run "back" upstream here in the spring time.  These men were clearing away branches and overgrowth from the stream.  Humans have been coming here since the beginning of our existence to easily gather fish and eat well with very little effort!  This is not allowed anymore but the feeling of the anticipation was quite palatable.

The Cape

Heading to Boston in a couple of days to see (drumroll please) THE OCEAN and (another drumroll please) GORDON, two of my most favorite things right now : ), pix will be coming soon.  I cannot wait to get out of here.  

My tai chi class was awesome last night.  I wish I could just practice with my teacher every single day somehow, following right behind him for hours and hours...

I love asparagus

when I come back in my next life, I do not know if I prefer to come back as an artichoke or asparagus.  Do you think the asparagus has any awareness of how tasty it is to me?!
