Blue sky, red dress

What a glorious day. It was the first time my toes had seen sun in six months. My toes and I enjoyed dark chocolate ice cream sitting on a park bench, watching people stroll through the center of town. Watching bikers cruise by in leather.

I heard someone exclaim "oh my gay GOD!" in a very loud, very gay voice. (Was it the leather that prompted that?)

Later, I took myself out to dinner in The Red Dress. I sat in a room with a tree completely adorned in white Christmas lights. A chef I will call the Dessert Fiend tried valiantly to get me to eat cheesecake peach tart chocolate mousse cheese plate ANYTHING! But I was content with the wild mushroom soup and the perfect scallops and bok choy.

Life is coming back to Maine.
