Provincetown Perspective: Day 1
We made it. I loved splitting the trip in two and spending a night in Mystic (Groton, actually), but it still feels like a chore getting here. P-Town is hopping as usual. It’s super gay, which it’s always been. There’s no place quite like it, and that’s saying a lot. Here are some early pix. The wifi here SUCKS, so I won’t be doing any more slideshows. It took an hour to upload these photos. Never again. But this place is fabulous, minus the drunk guy falling down at the piano and the vampire wannabe handing out menus at the dive restaurant we ate at.

First Stop: Mystic, CT
We’re on our way to the time share in Provincetown for a week. It’s a long drive from Stockton, so when we did this two years ago I said the next time we should stop halfway, in Mystic, and spend the night. We went to Sift, the bakery owned by Adam Young, winner of America’s Top Baker on the Food Network, then we headed to Mohegan Sun for some slots and dinner. Today we drive to P-town. Enjoy the photos, they’re from my new digital camera. I have to justify buying it somehow.

The Twist Podcast #102: Passing the Twisted Torch
Rick with new Co-host Q 
Join co-hosts Mark McNease and Rick Rose for our final Twist as a team. I’ll be handing over the co-hosting duties to Qiuana Brown, hereafter known to you as Q. She was a guest on a recent podcast and she ROCKS! I had so much fun talking to her, and I know she’s going to be awesome as Rick’s new co-host on The Twist Podcast 2.0. They’ll be blasting out their first episode very soon.
Listen in as Rick and I, friends of over 30 years, podcasters for 8, and collaborators on many things together, take a bittersweet look at our past and our fabulous futures.
And while we’re at it, here’s my final quote for the show:
“So, Donald Trump, who just in the past two days refused to visit Denmark because it wouldn’t sell Greenland, tossed an anti-Semitic canard out to see how it landed on American Jews, retweeted a conspiracy theorist who claims Trump is the king of the Jews, reversed himself on gun policy and payroll taxes, and mulled ending birthright citizenship by way of executive order, just keeps on trucking. No check in sight. Don McGahn is not going to do anything to stop him, Congress is not going to do anything to stop him, Senate Republicans are not going to do anything to stop him, and Sean Spicer is on Dancing With the Stars. Cold comfort perhaps, but if you don’t feel that you are losing your damn mind, something would be profoundly wrong with you. We are all doing too much. And we are all also not doing enough. And there is nothing wrong with you, beyond being a human being in categorically insane times.”

Backyard Mist: First Picture with my New Digital Camera
First picture with my new digital camera. Inexpensive, fits in my pocket. I wanted something to use that would untether me to the iPhone. So many of us have become enslaved to our smartphones, depending on them to know if it’s going to rain or how old Patti Lupone is or if there are any racy photos of Bobby Flay online … no to mention texting, tweeting, and taking photos of every moment we should be living in instead. This is our backyard this morning.
