Mediate, Alleviate, Don’t Suffocate on Your Own Hate

I took my first Meditation class last night. I know, I know…meditate and mediate are completely different words. But it still got me humming the old INXS song..hence today’s title. Anyway, I really needed the meditation after the hellish afternoon I had. As I blogged about earlier, I’m heading to Provincetown this weekend. I made […]

Even the Worst Case Scenario Ain’t So Bad…

…if you compare it to any other state in the union. Despite being legal in Massachusetts for the past 2+ years, gay marriage is up for debate yet again. Today’s constitutional convention will determine whether this amendment moves forward to next year’s convention and then ultimately, in 2008, to the ballot. Because this amendment proposal […]

It’s official. I’m heading to Provincetown this weekend.

But there are a handful of good things I associate with summer: 1 – Provincetown. I like to make a few pilgrimages every […]

Reality Sets In

London, Parts 1 & 2

  On the morning we left Paris for London, Mike and I used a taxi to get to the train station from Mark’s home. Mike managed to accumulate more than he could handle (in books and clothes) so I had to carry some of it. Somehow, since my luggage was on wheels, I managed to get […]
