Ptown Wedding

Congratulations Doug and Carl!

Doug and Carl have been together for 14 years. This year at our annual Provincetown get together, the blessed us with having their ceremony on the beach with our Ptown crew. Miss B was the best man for Douglas, Miss J for Carl, and I, the photographer. It was beautiful and we can't wait for the official party to follow sometime next year in Washington D.C.

Ptown was fantastic as always this year. Lots of sun, surf, and yummy seafood. We also discovered the new and hip version of the White Castle "sliders" except these had lobster on the inside. Super yummy! It did rain one day and that was the chosen day to see "Julie and Julia" which was good although I could have done an entire movie on Julia Child and skipped the Julie part. B to the O to the RING. But I guess that had to be done to pull in the less mature crowd, right? Now we are back, my tan is fading, and it's all just a memory. Until next year! Oh by the way, I have been making this same trek for 10 years now. I must really love the beach!

Tigers vs. Oakland A's

The Tigers won! Big shock. This year has been dismal for the A's. The stadium wasn't even close to half full. The fans were boo-ing like no one's business. Kind of sad really. And that Friday night game gave them more to boo about as the Tigers won 3-2. Being from Michigan, of course B cheered for the Tigers! With any luck they will stay on top of the division and make their way to the playoffs. Which means we need to figure out some TV options prior to the series. (We are still stranded now that the digital conversion has gone through.)

PLAY BALL!

Squaw Valley and Wanderlust

Just like peanut butter and chocolate, they finally put two of my favorite things together in one weekend: yoga and indie pop rock. Who was loving it? ME!

We saw amazing bands and went to fantastical classes with teachers like Sianna Sherman, Kenny Graham, John Friend, Shiva Rea, Katchie Ananda, the whole nine. They were outstanding and we got to try styles of yoga we never would have dreamed of and really enjoyed it. The music was the best ever too! We saw Gillian Welch, Jenny Lewis (she was so cute I just wanted to put her in my pocket!), Spoon, Broken Social Scene, Andrew Bird, and a bunch of others I can't remember. So we stretched in the morning and rocked it in the evening. Not a bad deal. I would go again in a minute. And Miss B agrees.

Plus check out these pictures of Tahoe. How can you not have a good time with beauty around you like that? And an interesting fact that I did not know, the 1960 winter Olympics were held at this location. We got to hang out in a hot tub and pool at 8,200 feet. Not too shabby.

One bummer, yogi = the new hippie. Don't get me wrong, I was a hippie in college and certainly lean towards hippie-like things from time to time. But some of these folks were way out there and trying not to be a hippie and calling yourself a yogi when really, it's the same thing. Maybe they will figure it out. If they don't, well who really cares anyway, right? So perhaps I can start a new era, that of the hip-yogi. We would shower. We don't have to wear twirl skirts or smell like patchouli (I do like patchouli by the way but not in gallons). We can have the yogic philosophies with good fashion. I think I am onto something. Hm....
