Martha's Vineyard Is Now Open For The Season --- Game On!

Our high season has finally arrived with this Memorial Day weekend. Old familiar faces are reappearing in the check-out line at Cronig’s. Young impatient preppy kids with newly minted driver’s licenses driving Daddy’s Mercedes act as if they own the road. Day trippers who have no clue where they are going whiz around precariously on mopeds, and islanders who are no longer able to day dream while behind the wheel of their cars or come and go as they please in pursuit of their daily chores are snapped back into reality, reminded that their space is no longer theirs alone, at least not for the next ten weeks. The Vineyard has awakened like a huge pinball machine once a quarter is inserted. Game on!

I hope it is a wonderful summer for everyone who really loves and appreciates this Island, understands its pace and recognizes that it is one of the only places on earth where you can recharge your physiological battery, redefine your spiritual center, nurture relationships with family and friends, and just “BE”. This is a special place and I love it. Having said that, I am going to go spend time with my wonderful wife, visit with good friends, go fishing, eat some great food and just “BE”.
