Chilmark is in the midst of midsummer madness but everyone is having a grand time and is out and about chasing fun at full speed. Several thunderstorms moved thru one night this week and managed to be gone by daytime. The roads are a challenge most hours of the day and the parking or lack of it is the subject of most conversations.

Welcome to President Obama and the First Family as they begin their restful vacation on the Vineyard once again. Perhaps this year we will see them more around town, and perhaps I will get to see them if they venture up to Aquinnah again.

In graduate school I read Plato and learned that old men can’t learn new things. It wasn’t scary then. It’s a little different now. Because conventional wisdom seems to agree with Plato that cognitive decline occurs as we age, I decided last winter to learn something about the brain. As more sophisticated imaging techniques have developed, neuroscientists have made great strides unlocking the secrets of brain functioning.
