Pride at India Point Park

lavender flags and pink flags lining the pedestrian bridge over the highway

rainbow of balloons

finding Annette's booth - next to the Green Party of course

moon jellies swimming amidst floating tennis balls and an empty Bud bottle

corporate sponsors CVS and Fleet Bank - I feel so mainstream, so middle American.... so normal...

a Baptist gave me a glass of lemonade and didn't ask for my soul in return

the mayor saying this was a bigger parade than the P-Bruins got for winning the championship - guess this just isn't a hockey town :-) :-)

seeing everybody we know and their dogs

Dinner at Rue de l'Espoir

asparagus gazpacho with chipotle creme fraiche
Nancy didn't know chipotle was a hot pepper.

I could cheerfully have made a night of it on just the gazpacho. Yum.

leaning tower of portobello

swiss chard, roasted red peppers, cheese, and the sublime grilled portobello mushroom

Nancy and Annette both had sirloin steak - I think they got jealous of my mushroom though

Annette's treat

how could we possibly eat dessert - Annette ordered a piece of chocolate mousse cake with three forks - we still left some on the plate

Trinity Rep's Twelfth Night at Waterplace Park

who knew Illyria was such a decadent pleasure center?

naughty doings at the Hotel Olivia beach club

with relatives like Sir Toby, who needs enemies?

what exactly does cross-gartered mean?

and those yellow stockings are hideous!

Malvolio is so uptight it's a wonder nobody has thrown him in the water.

can you really inflict as much damage with a wet towel as with a sword? the wet towel fight was much funnier anyway

I'd forgotten how much I love Shakespeare.
