In Praise of the Ocean

The ocean is a marvelous place. It is literally a place of marvels. People travel from deep in the interior sections of a continent just to spend a few days in its proximity. As they near it, their hearts – if not their voices – resonate with that of William Clark who cried at his […]

Do I need a car on Martha’s Vineyard?

If I had a dollar for everyone who has ended a reservation call with some variation on this theme, I’d be a happy man. Sometimes, people want me to tell them what they should do and I simply cannot. This can be frustrating for some. There are as many answers as there are people. Some […]

The Real Vineyard Sound…

There are plenty of sounds I associate with the Vineyard. A few are annoying (motorcycles without mufflers and loud cell phone conversations) but most are enticing: sea gulls calling, waves crashing on the shore, the bells of the Old Whaling Church peeling, and children laughing. And lest I forget, the call of, “Your table is ready!” […]

Eating out on Martha’s Vineyard (without breaking the budget)

Those who know me well would probably describe my spending habits as “cheap”… but I prefer the terms “economy minded” or “frugal”!

Adventures of the Squirrel-Whisperer

When I say that Martha’s Vineyard is too “City-fied” for me, people laugh. Here is my perspective: I came to the Vineyard after living for ten years in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I lived in a condominium where bears came through the parking lot to the dumpsters on a regular basis and if […]

My Sweet Spot on Martha’s Vineyard

I suppose everyone has their favorite Vineyard spot. For some, it’s a place to appreciate the beauty of creation and be alone with their thoughts. The less contemplative among us might, to lift a line from Ms. Lauper, “just wanna have fun” and so seek out a more active corner of the Island. At the […]

Save Me From My Kids… What to do when it’s not a Beach Day on Martha’s Vineyard

Considering the total amount of rainfall on the Vineyard this June, I’m hoping that the subject of this blog will soon be moot. However, my car mechanic tells me he remembers a Vineyard summer one year that never happened. So, just in case… Imagine you are finally here, under the roof you paid for three […]
