My family and I spent much of yesterday in Provincetown, MA getting our collective freak on. For us, that means buying stuff we don't need and drinking martinis in the afternoon, but one of Ptown's many redeeming qualities is its tolerance of the little quirks in all of us.
After a terrific lunch and some team meandering along Commercial Street, we poked into Shop Therapy for a quick dose of Patchouli and some cheap baubles. The front of the store featured a rack of bumper stickers, most of them like this one:
The question, then, for the fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts in the audience, is what do you say when your 9 year-old starts perusing the display in question? Thank God Almighty the message that stuck in her head was "I'm Not Gay, but My Girlfriend Is". That one turned into a discussion about tolerance - a teachable moment, if you will.
I'm really glad I didn't have to tell her that some people eat cats.

This could get interesting if sharapova breaks here.

That top one is TR.
Is it me or does Billie Jean King, when you look at her very quickly, look like Herman Munster? She has a little more color. Give it a try.
I would like to request a detailed account from the teej's evening.

though i am also on the cape, i will not be taking my sons to that particular shop as they can read now but they are certainly not ready for any discussions like that.
someone should write a song about daydrinking. because it's still awesome. looking at you, yojo.
i am on that. be prepared to be interviewed at the obft, while daydrinking . . .
Second the day-drinking fun. Busted my ass in the yard this morning (sans chainsaw), took the family to the town pool for 3 hrs, then made the pleasant discovery that Magic Hat #9, my favorite Vermont winter beer, is equally as tasty on a summer day.
You are braver than me. No way in hell would I take El into a store like that. Max and Gracie, sure. But El? El would choose to make one of those bumper stickers her commentary on the FCAT writes next year. I've already heard dandy things like "I know what meth is," and "All roofies aren't bad" come out of her mouth.
