Off the grid - Pilgrims rule

So we're off on vacation, thank goodness.

First to James Taylor at Tanglewood, which we've never done before despite Bryan's folks having a house nearby

Then to Boston to see friends before our rental starts in Provincetown. We've rented in Provincetown twice before and it's terrific - fairly inexpensive and close to the beach and the beaches are terrific. Usually, we go early in the morning, bring lunch and then come home in the heat of the sun and I write all afternoon and then start drinking. we don't do the party scene as much as we do the sunset/sunrise scene. We vary beaches along the Cape, visiting others. We love WASPY stuff and the Cape is full of it and them. It's also refreshing to be away from New Yorkers (no offense) and with the New Englanders who are of a different ilk.

This time, we expect to play tennis (bought BJF his first racquet and we need to break it in) plus he'll probably make me bike again. We're bringing Ezra of course and we can bring him to the beach in the morning which is great. We had terrific pictures from last time (2 yrs ago) and I hope to do a few more good shots of him. It's so nice to go on vacation with the pup, and it's like we get to know each other all over again. Of course, sometimes I think every day is the same day for him over again.

Bryan grew up being denied lobster (I, a product of foreclosure banking in the 80s, was shoveled it like Shredded Wheat), so I hope we have lots of it for lunch and dinner. 

Otherwise, I have plenty of books to read and DVDs to re-watch.
