The gang’s back for Entourage, and it seems like old times

Full confession. When they cued the title music for Entourage as my dear wife Karen and I sat in the sparse weekday matinée Cape Cod theater crowd, the familiar power chords of Jane Addiction’s Superhero gave me a jolt. I felt like I was back in the living room of the Little Bitty in the…

In Provincetown, the tide is out

There was more to our trip to Providence than the great Straight from P-Town T-shirt door-knocking venture. This tip-of-Cape Cod city is a fixture on My Dear Wife Karen and I’s Traditions List for our pre-tourist-boom June week in the Happy Cottage. It’s dog friendly. So we took a left from the main street and…

This group of three had a real fine time, thank you Ann Koplow

My dear wife Karen and I kept the Sesuit Harbor Cafe in our hip pocket, an ace in the hole if you will on the Traditions List for our pre-tourist rush June week in the Happy Cottage. The setting on the Bay screams Cape Cod. Boats and beach and dunes and birds and sun. And…

The Chatham shoppers’ T-shirt reveal

The Life Is Good store in Chatham has made my dear wife Karen and I’s Traditions List on this annual pre-tourist-boom June week in Cape Cod. And we love to buy each other one T-shirt, of course. We choose our own. Look hard through the racks. Fancy what we love in life. I went with…

Dogamous takes to the paddle

The first year we decided our beloved rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle was better off with us in the Happy Cottage in Cape Cod rather than a week boarding somewhere in Syracuse, we fibbed to our year-plus pup. We told her a mucky nearby dog park pond was the ocean. The second year…

If You Are a Quote Lover, Day Three

It’s time for me to take my final bow in the BloggyVille challenge If You Are a Quote Lover. I was nominated by Soumichatterjeenath of anunwrappedsoul. I accepted while on vacation in Cape Cod, and haven’t regretted it a bit. Thank you, Soumi, for giving me three days of indoor fun. If you haven’t yet,…

More cocktail sauce, why didn’t you?

The phone-placed order to the folks at Kream ‘N’ Kone was quite specific. I’m practically a drill seargant about these things. Polite but firm. I want my order to be right after my dear wife Karen and I drive to a place, pick up our food, return, unwrap, and face the plates. Besides, we’ve been…

Hello, Atlantic Ocean

My dear wife Karen and I hoped for a little Serenity Now on the stools of the Tiki Bar, high over the beach of Cape Cod, steps from the Ocean House restaurant and the resort motel it serves. That’s on our Traditions List for this annual pre-tourist-rush week in the Happy Cottage. Alas, on the…

Straight from P-Town

I’ve been mulling this idea about a great T-shirt around in my head since my dear wife Karen and I started visiting Provincetown as part of our annual pre-tourist-invasion June week in Cape Cod. The saying is Straight from P-Town. We love this city on the top of the Cape because it is so inclusive…

If You Are a Quote Lover, Day Two

It’s time for the meat in the sandwich for my participation in the latest BloggyVille tag game, If You Are a Quote Lover. I was nominated by the quite polite Soumichatterjeenath of anunwrappedsoul so I accepted while on vacation in Cape Cod. Why not, right? I’ve been posting two entries a morning anyway while making…
