Weekender strike on Massachussetts

The Weekender entourage will occupy Cape Cod this Saturday through the following Sunday. Beachhead will be established in Brewster.
No computer access for that period so I fully expect to come home to a full-scale attack on good ol Mericun values on the Chiffboard.

Chiffers who wanta meet or whistle, contact me here before Friday. Big house, good for playin'. Bringing whistle but no geetar so other Weekender can only chord slave if one is provided. Perhaps I will finally meet Feadan.

I am pretty sure there is a session nearby on Saturday nights hosted by Bill Blackburn, right?

Missed you by a couple of weeks and about eighty miles. Enjoy Massachusetts! Hopefully you'll have good weather. We got a Nor'easter.

But, alas, I'm not on Cape Cod anymore. I've moved to Cape Ann (Gloucester).

Cheers,
David

Aha! Must be a conspiracy. Heck I don't even know where Cape Ann is... Oh well...do you know the name of that place that has the session?

Are you sure he isn't Mary?

He no longer accepts my calls after one bilious rant too many. Anyhoo, he is pretty far away, on the western side of the state in Groovy Pioneer Valley.

BTW, I will be seeing cranberry bogs. My younger son is lookin forward to finding snakes, playing his saxophone and the bigger one is bringing two skateboards. Between the sax and my whistles and the longboard, I expect the same crank neighbor to threaten to call the police like she did last time.

With the recent bad news about the red tide, our hopes for way-cheaper-than-Calaforny clams and chowder may be dashed. But lobster is still cheaper than here and not affected, we hear. My older boy is one of those Guiness type eaters. His name is on a plaque in Sedona for eating some gargantuan hamburger. He's only 15, but at 6'1", he has at least two hollow legs.

Something to look forward to. it's been so long that I traveled that I find myself freaked out about the trip (flying, packing, you-name-it). A bad sign, but when I get there, it will be better.

This is me last time I was there (right before the phone call). I doubt if link works, but what the heck:

I was under the impression that MA was a small state. I've never been there, though. Hmmph. Oh well. Have fun anyway!

Compared to Californy, it is. But the population is high enough and the roads circuitous enough that you can't blast from here to there quickly.

Since this is my boys only trip to the Northeast, I may do some driving for their sake. Mebbe Rhode Island, over to Mystic Conn. etc. Definitely to Plimouth Plantation. We might go to Sturbridge village, a very cool place. THey just used it on that Spielberg western on the teevee now. It was supposedly Indiana.

PS. I called Bloo last time I was out there. Very cordial.

Boston is a terrific city too. Park in the outskirts and take the excellent public transit, as driving and parking is tough there. Lots of great things for the whole family to see and do.
Make sure you see some of the National Seashore beaches-- the water is cold, but the waves can be spectacular and the sand dunes are really beautiful.
Liam's at Nauset Beach has the best onion rings on the face of the planet-- whisper thin and amazingly good. Their fried clams are wonderful too, but you probably won't get them this time around

Provincetown is a real trip, and a whale watch from there is a lot of fun.
