"Wow, Do you always wear colors like these? What's the occasion? Are you a Buddhist?" "No, this is just what I do. I'm from Boston, here on business."
Mike is here on vacation, staying at his family's Campground cottage, and was determined to catch a scup for supper. A Church of God pastor, Mike's pastoral work involves teaching inner city teenagers to read, kids who are part of the fallout of the collapsed economy. Mike's been on sabbatical for the past four months. "I miss my kids".

Just found your blog. I absolutely love the Vineyard and hope to someday have a little place for my family to visit and cherish the island as much as I do. We visit as often as possible, this year staying in an old house on Main Street in Edgartown. Your writing and photography are wonderful and I love reading what an "islander" has to say about the place. Thanks for sharing... and that Mike sounds like a pretty awesome guy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Karen. Where on Main Street? I'm at 117, stop by and say hi. Yes, I liked Mike a lot. I hope he caught a fish.
Delete96 Main, right across from the old church! I will look for you! (July)
