    A New Year on Martha’s Vineyard

    by cjrivard, Dec 29 2010

    I have never been a fan of new year “resolutions”; there is way too much guilt and disappointment going on, come February when resolves aren’t as strong!  This is a great time of year to reflect on the good, bad, and ugly of the past, however; as well as organizing and making plans for all [...]

    Martha’s Vineyard People, and Everyone Else

    by cjrivard, Sep 17 2010

    I don’t know why there is so much divisiveness and trouble in this world.  We should all be able to get along.  After all, there are really only two kinds of people in the world: those who take vacations and those who never do so. Of course, when it comes to vacations, there are two [...]

    The Joys of Fall on Martha’s Vineyard

    by cjrivard, Sep 10 2010

    So there you are back in what we affectionately call “the real world”. There are errands to do, kids to transport, work and obligations to fill your every hour. A pleasant fleeting memory of summer vacation on Martha’s Vineyard may flicker through your mind only to be overpowered by whatever task is presently before you. [...]

    Martha’s Vineyard History Package

    by cjrivard, Aug 17 2010

    Have the kids not come up with a theme for “What I Did on my Summer Vacation”, or are you just not up to another day at the beach? The Martha’s Vineyard Preservation Trust, in partnership with the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, have come up with a solution to not only these dilemmas, but many others as well. [...]

    Martha’s Vineyard has Greatest Place to Eat in the Whole Wide World

    by cjrivard, Aug 10 2010

    As a writer, I love hyperbole. It grabs the reader’s attention, making the point and then some – stretching the truth for good purpose. The title of this post is a great example.Sharky’s Cantina may not be the Greatest Place to Eat in the Whole Wide World, but if it isn’t, it’s darn close. Seriously, [...]

    Bicycle Safety on Martha’s Vineyard

    by cjrivard, Aug 5 2010

    Recently, there was an article on this Blog, posted by CJ, concerning safety while traveling on Martha’s Vineyard. I am prompted to expand upon this theme by last month’s tragic bicycle accident in Vineyard Haven; and I speak with the perspective of having been a Military Police officer once upon a time. My purpose now is [...]

    Martha’s Vineyard – an Accessible Island

    by cjrivard, Jul 28 2010

    This week is the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. I believe the act has opened doors for all of us since its inception in 1990; not only the disabled.  Even on a small island such as Martha’s Vineyard, our community is becoming “richer” as more doors are opening for everyone.  The mainstreaming of [...]

    Unusual Martha’s Vineyard Pastimes

    by cjrivard, Jul 22 2010

    So many of our friends and repeat guests already know so much about Martha’s Vineyard, that I sometimes find when I’m wearing my concierge hat, that it’s difficult to come up with new suggestions for them. The beaches, nature walks, author’s talks, concerts, theater, etc. run off my tongue with ease, and they are always [...]

    Making Martha’s Vineyard Vacations Safe & Fun, Part II

    by cjrivard, Jun 14 2010

    The new Martha’s Vineyard Hospital opened last month, with the space to double it’s capacity.  Some people speculate that this was necessary purely due to the transportation related accidents that grace the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital’s emergency room every season…  please don’t be one of the statistics!  Read on to be aware and safe, and if you [...]

    Making Martha’s Vineyard Vacations Safe & Fun

    by cjrivard, May 4 2010

    Over the past 17 years that I have been on the Vineyard, I have repeatedly been astounded at least once or twice every season by the carelessness of a visitor.  I don’t think that this is a unique phenomenon to Martha’s Vineyard, but is common in vacation destinations around the world.  I used to work [...]
