Provincetown on my mind

[greatbear]

I'm taking a break from reorganizing the garage and cataloging some of my "stuff" (more on that later). I had started thinking about our little excursion that week and how much it meant to us as far as sending time together, not thinking about work or medical procedures or any sort of pressing matters of the day. It does do a body and mind quite a bit of good. We went during "Bear Week", of course, but the only true reason for that was to simply pad the time with hopes of running into some of our friends while there, and to take in the eye candy. The latter was at higher levels due to IBR Lazy Bear in Cali being non-existent this year, raising the sightings of unfamiliar faces, cover bears and "a-listers" as they packed the streets, shops, eateries and parties. As for us, we managed to take in one "tea" at the Boatslip, and Tuesday night's Blowoff. The Blowoff was our first, despite them originating basically down the road from us in DC. It was a lot more fun that either of us expected, Jeff got a chance to shake his bootay on the dance floor. Of course, I could not even try, having a difficult enough time just getting around. Still, it was a ton of fun for me. We attempted to go to the tea dances again the rest of the week, but found them way too packed and turned right around and left. I can't handle that kinda stuff anymore, and we didn't attempt any more.

We had way too much excellent food, Kodi was a total rock star with everyone he met, and despite having to make my way around with a walking stick, I made good use of my time by taking it easy. I hope next year these medical problems won't be an issue.

I have three cameras worth of a few hundred pictures to go through, but found this one in my first go-round. If one picture best describes our little vacation in P-Town, this would be it. Happy, smiling, having a good time, and a truckload of seafood. Kodi helped Jeff with his ice cream, mine was melting faster than I could eat it. I seem to be storing some of it in my beard.



And, yeah, that's my ever-present walking stick in the pic. It sure beats that old medical cane by a mile. I managed to wear the rubber tip of it off, and tried to make do with stuff from the local hardware store to fix it.

We will do this again.

Edit: Thanks to putzmeisterbear for correcting me. *blush*

Awesome pic of you!

Danke!

[beastbriskett.livejournal.com]

If that pic sums it up, the smiles show what a good time it was.
Good for the soul, my friend.

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Yeah, with everything that has been going on, both recent and for a while now, it was a nice distraction. I need more of such things.

[ciddyguy.livejournal.com]

Indeed, it did look like you two were having hella fun. :-)

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Hells yeah! :)

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

I *ADORE* that pic of you three.

I'm so glad you had a great time. Woooooooooo!

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

I was laughing my ass off at the moment, and it actually shows. I usually look so stolid in pictures.

[wrascalism.livejournal.com]

Fun pic!

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

It definitely was. A fun pair of lesbians came by and made a fuss over Kodi and one offered to take a pic of us together since I was taking pics of J and K.

I love how Kodi is so desperately trying to get at Jeff's ice cream cone. *heee*

But so good to see you laughing! :)

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Kodi had already had a fair amount of ice cream before the pic was taken, in fact, that's why his was not melting all down his arm like mine was!

[mcbulldawg.livejournal.com]

Love the pic! *grin*

You look great!

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Thankie!

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Oooh, lookit what the cat dragged in after all this time! *flyingtacklehugs*

[champdaddy.livejournal.com]

great to see you guys looking so happy...

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I concur. So much conspires to keep us from having a good time, we finally put it behind us for a week and had the first long vacay in years.

Hi Phil, that's a great photo!

[bonkishnurtaz.livejournal.com]

Thank you for sharing the photograph with us! Kodi is adorable and Jeff is quite handsome. It is good to see you smile. I sincerely hope that your back pain will be a thing of the past! (((((HUGS)))). By the way, when you refer to all this great food, what did you mean? :-)

All the places to eat, be they nice restaurants or walk-up stands and everything in between have incredible food. There are no chain eateries. There is a Portuguese bakery (called Portuguese Bakery!) that has awesome baked goods that I stop in every time I pass just to see what they have and get a nice whiff inside even if I am not buying anything at the moment.

Pics of us together are rare, since I am the one usually taking the pictures and my arm is only so long. ;)

OK HOW CUTE AND CUDDLY IS THAT? WOO HOOO

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

It was the moment in a nutshell.
