the fifty year old virgin….so to speak

I’ve made it to Provincetown. It is hard for me to even believe that I am here. Just a few weeks ago I would have laughed at anyone if they even suggested the possibility, yet here I am. And you know what? So far so good. I’ve been here four days and the time has passed quickly. There is so much to do. The hotel needs some help and I’m not lamenting. It needs some changing and I’m going to be able to effect that change. In the short time I’ve been here I feel like I’ve made a difference.

There is much for me to do. I have to make sure hotel is physically in shape to take guests. I have to manage the staff, I have to learn the local politics and business culture, for my personal survival and for the sake of the hotel too. I have to help take reservations and check in guests. And all of this has to be integrated into a system that makes sense. I think its going to be fun, a great big challenge, but fun.

Of course the personal challenges are intriguing also. This is a very Gay town! “Not that there is anything wrong with that.” Its very tolerant place and I seem pretty straight in comparison to most of the people I’m around now. This too will be an interesting experiment for me.  And there is a beach across the street.
