A sunny afternoon and a cat nap on the sun porch, the windows are open and a breeze is aided by the ceiling fan.
I sit across the coffee table from Paul's smiliing face, lap tops on every thigh in the house, we read to one another from Milli's birthday thread, the comics, the weather, which is wonderful, just like I ordered.
This has been a trremendous week, I have the callouses on my feets to prove it. From my arrival in Boston on Monday night, to our ferry ride back this evening, it has been a joy to spend time with Paul, seeing his world and his life first hand.
If you ever get a chance to visit Provincetown, please do so. It is the sweetest little town out at the end of the world. Narrow one way streets, old houses, gay people everywhere. We get off the boat and are greeted by Ellie, a 76 year old transvestite with a kayoke machine in a radio flyer, living her dream. The big draw this week is the Provincetown film festival. If you have never been to a film festival before you should check one out nearby. We saw Madonna's directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom, which I highly recommend, and got to have a q&a with one of the actresses.
Yesterday we travelled from one pole to the other, depending upon which way you think your sailing. In the morning we saw Be Like Others, a film about transsexuals in Iran, not all of whom probably are trans, but take this difficult route to try to find some place for theirselves in a nitch the koran does not address.
In the vening we saw If The World Were Mine. OMG, talk about ooposite end of the spectrum! It was brilliant! I so hope it wins the award, being given tomorrow, as I am waiting for my bag at the Raleigh airport. Jim Gallagher has posted a nice piece about it in the culture tent.
And just so nice,being around your own kind. Meeting a nice 23 year old lesbian bartender from Cork, Ireland whose mother cannot even say the word. What brought her here? The gayness.
But what I would like to solidify in my mind as artless and charmed happiness is two huckleberry friends shlepping across the moors to the sunny beach. Two drifters off to see the world, there is so much of it to see.
I'll put War and Peace back on the shelf, and ask Paul if he is ready to go down to the beach one last time. ;D

P.S. and did I mention John Waters rode by us on his bike, not a lot unlike Elmira Gulch?

Really? Cool! Could you see his slender moustache? ;D
Sounds like you all are having a great time -- the day seems nice and relaxing. Good.
