The first few days this whole summer that I did not have that noisy air-conditioner on. To sleep, perchance to dream, with all the windows open and a light blanket, too. Just when we thought we had reached our breaking point. Hello, end of summer, we are ready.
Ah, the 155th Annual Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Fair! I made it a point to go every year since I moved here in 1978. I was sure to bring my son every year of his life on Island.

Do you have your ticket for the Possible Dreams Auction at Winnetu this Sunday? Don’t forget! This is the most exciting social event of the year on Martha’s Vineyard, providing fun for you and funds for our extensive community services. You just might see me there.

As always, the art colony on the Island has spectacular summer seasons. Freshly returned from ultra-hip Greenpoint, Brooklyn and his studio there, our own Colin Ruel is on-Island and exhibiting his wonderful work for the summer.
Well, it happened again. Some jerk managed to pull out all the emotions of disgust, disappointment and dread in us last weekend. Refer to them as jerks, which they are. The word terrorist suggests too much power.
Lenny’s Loop has re-congregated for the summer season. Arriving from Connecticut last week for a brief stay were Bill and Jan Stokes, here to work on their gardens and turn on their water. Arriving on Monday were Paul and Marge Howes of New Canaan, Conn., and our town.
