I just reread this message from last June.  Thanks for the laugh, I needed
that after having been to a high school budget meeting.  We know we have to
pare the budget and we also know that whereever we pare it someone is going

Amen to that brother. Some of the most memorable lessons I have ever learned

The granite moraine that created P-Town  and cape Cod is awash with the
smiles of summer ;here upon the rock entering the "ol toon" Imet a
different sort of pilgrim ;the young man was barefoot with a pixie haircut
wearing nothing but a petty coat and a chemise ( a little strappy thing) my
sister said not to stare so instead I focused on the copper bangers putting
on a roof to a coopola in the towns center who through no fault of thier
own were giving the tourists "the plumbers view" as they tarried in their
craft .
Below on the quay of the pedestrian cobblestone  I was greeted by two
grannys in pearls and oversized floral  bags wearing too much rouge and
hitching up their panty hose with leg hair sticking through ; they were
handing out notices for tonights  ball.
It reads 
  " "Ladys in love costume ball ,
 a Fetish and Flesh celebration "    
I am sizing the old ladies up wondering if they could work a  mud pan  when
my sister drags me off to look a t Caoe Cod tee shirts which is just down
from the window with the leather thongs and an odd assortment of striking
instruments which I was infromed you had to bring to get into the
ball ....my sister (a no nonsence mom ) wasn't haven't any of it ....Py
