| January 13: RIP |
Our dear cat, Rocky, died. We found out after a routine exam that he had advanced and aggressive pancreatic cancer and rather than prolong his life for a few months -- which would grow more and more painful for him -- we decided to have him put down. | [need photo] |
| February 13-15: HAWKEYE |
Paula and Myra Hope celebrate 6 years together with a trip to Western Mass. With her customary wisdom, Ma Alekson recommends a meeting with Paula's friend Christine from High School who, coincidentally, has a new kitten she is offering for adoption. With pious reluctance, MH and
Paula agree to meet the little interloper. |
|
| His name is Hawkeye. |
|
|
| January 26: GOKYU |
MH successfully tested for gokyu (green belt) at Beacon Hill Karate Academy. |
|
| January - May: GAY & LESBIAN FILM |
Paula worked as TA for Laurence Senelick's class on the evolution of GLBT images in film -- which merits mention becuase it gave us a guaranteed date every Sunday night for the showings! Among other things, we watched:
|
|
| March 30: YONKYU |
MH successfully tested for yonkyu (brown stripe on a green belt) at Beacon Hill Karate Academy. Great rejoicing! |
|
| July 10: SOMETHING ABOUT THE WOMEN |
MH made her exit from 91.5 WMFO Medford with pistols blazing and everything from Cowboy Junkies to Dusty Springfield on the turntable. DAT? -- What's that!? |

Family Vacation Mach I with a trip to visit Cynthia Ash. |
|
| August 21-28: CHARLESTOWN BEACH |

Comprehensive exams are finished, next it's a race to the curtain for the orals! | |
| December 17: PASSED WITH DISTINCTION! |
