back to yesterday again...
drove all day in the pouring fucking rain to the cape, had an excellent seafood platter at some irish place off route 28 in west yarmouth, and met my nephew's fiance at an "after-rehearsal" party...
today i don't plan on doing too much until we go to the wedding later this afternoon in chatham...
