Fall into Fall

On September 29, 2022September 29, 2022 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

So, back to real life - but with this lovely weather! One weird thing though is that there's a brief window at the beginning of fall (before the heat turns on mid-October) and mid-spring (when the heat turns off again) where it's the coldest in the apartment it ever gets. So it's now, not February, …

So long and thanks for all the fish

On September 26, 2022 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

So the idea that had ended up blossoming into this whole trip was, 'maybe I should go to Provincetown for my birthday'. And here it was, Sunday, my birthday. I wasn't particularly excited about it being my birthday, not a a milestone this time, and no honeyman to take me out to dinner or make …

Guilty feet have got no rhythm

On September 25, 2022 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Saturday: no specific plans, got up, did my coffee and reading and internets, got cleaned up. First breakfast at the Brass Key - self-serve buffet, including little individual spinach souffles, very nice. Lots of groups of boys chatting, although I sat alone. Then to the common room of my building to blog and do research …

Wellfleet, Truro, Ptown (!)

On September 24, 2022September 26, 2022 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Friday: this was the day in the original plans that was going to be cah-razy, because I was going to try to do the top half of the rail trail. Well, most of my biking plans have been not-happening, although I will try to get one in here in Ptown. So it was kind of …

Gorey Details

On September 23, 2022 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Thursday: slept reasonably late, got up, had tea, blogged, got showered, went to breakfast. One of the other patrons was doing the 'this bacon is completely inedible because it's not the exact crispness that I like it' thing. I was accidentally catching her husband's eye from time to time, wanted to say, "is this just …

Driving around Cape Cod

On September 22, 2022September 26, 2022 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Wednesday: Woke up quite early. Breakfast wasn't served until 8:00, but they had promised "coffee always" and they had a Keurig set up. I went down there around 7:00 and ... well, the Keurig was there, but no takeout cups or creams. Damn. So I liberated some teabags and went back upstairs. The kitchenette does …

Cape Cod, Canal Path

On September 21, 2022September 26, 2022 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Tuesday: a leisurely morning to get up, blog, get cleaned up, go out and get breakfast, come back and pack. The ferry from Oak Bluffs to Woods Hole was at 10:45, so I left about 10:00. No problem waiting around - the weather has been so lovely I've been spending a ton of time outside, …

Nantucket

On September 20, 2022September 20, 2022 By Eric Peterson1 Comment

I have a lot of constant low-level anxiety and that's not good. Particularly lately, I find myself having to say to myself, out loud, several times a day, "You're not doing anything wrong." Yes, I need therapy, it's on the list, OK. Anyway, one of the promises I made myself was I was not going …

Vineyard Haven, Edgartown

On September 19, 2022September 26, 2022 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

A friend of mine had commented on FB that I should really get an apple fritter from a particular donut shop - she didn't know this, but said shop is mere feet from my hotel, so after morning coffee in the room, I went out and got one. Ate most of it sitting on a …

And we’re off

On September 18, 2022September 26, 2022 By Eric Peterson1 Comment

Well, I'm off. That's part of the point of this trip - it's the first real travel vacation since we went to Spain in 2019. But it's just me and one reason I went here (Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod) is it's a place that C and I never went to. I've never been at …
