I hope you all rested up during the snow months because the Island offers so much excitement from now on, starting with tomorrow’s annual Bike MS: Ride the Vineyard. The fun, fun ride is brought to you by the New England Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and our own Boys and Girls Club. It is not too late to register to ride; registration on the day of the ride is $35 plus a $2.50 pledge requirement.

Kara felt the need to apologize for me in public for being such a dinosaur.
