One of the nice things about vacationing locally is that one doesn't feel the pressure to do everything that only exists here in paradise, and conversely, to abandon everything that smacks of home. Greg's family is sitting in the living room of a condo in Provincetown, reading political blogs and mystery books (Jane has recently discovered that her angsty novel involves a literal skeleton in the closet, and Greg is reading the Anatomy of Fascism, which is a mystery to me). The weather is overcast, so I'm agitating for swimming (the beach to yourself and no worries of burning!). That's not yet the household consensus. Chances are better that I can drag everyone down to the dozens of galleries a block down from this place. The condo itself is a kind of gallery, tasteful in every way, each wall hung with paintings that inspire but couldn't possibly overwhelm the well-composed decor. Once I can afford this kind of place myself, I'm only going to rent from gayplaces2rent.com.
I also have some work to do, which I may have a crack at... right after a second cup of coffee.

 For the first time in five years, I have a week off at home. In fact, I have three weeks. I feel like the joyful newlyweds in Beetlejuice, pre tragic death, cleaning up and doing projects, happy for full stretches of days to get my affairs in order and set up job, home, and school details. I'm avoiding quaint bridges, just in case.
Things are not all fun and games; I have health insurance, tuition, a broken exhaust pipe, internets, and two graduate jobs to think about before orientation on the 25th. But I did squeeze in a Princess Bride Quote Along at the Coolidge Corner Theatre last night. Awesome.
