Dry no more

A long, mostly sober, deadly quiet weekend. I'm almost sad to see all the cars returning to the city. Aside from two lovely barbeques and baking a couple of cakes, the highlight of the weekend was seeing the movie The Love Letter. It was a sappy movie, but I enjoyed seeing Rockport again as I do miss living there at times [Holy shit, the town voted to reverse the Hannah Jumper dry laws this year!]. I remember when the movie was being filmed and the stir it created in the small town where everyone knew everyone elses business. All of the actors were staying in apartments down by granite pier and the drive-by traffic trying to catch a glimpse of Tom Selleck or Kate Capshaw was so bad that they had to build a tall privacy fence to discourage the rubberneckers. It was also amusing when hearing all the old matrons tittering and gossiping at the Wednesday night town picnics out in Pigeon Cove about how hot Tom Selleck was. It's a lovely little town by the sea where time moves at a more comfortably slow pace.
