You can’t tell me you’re out there with nothing going on. This is the time of year I especially expect to hear from Islanders about births, visitors, vacations, achievements. True, I missed reminding you of the Big Chili contest, but as usual it was packed and successful. Now, call me. I miss you.
I always watch the State of the Union address, whether or not the president was my candidate, I like to see how well it is delivered and how well it was written.

It was heartwarming to see her there.
A great big Tisbury hello goes out to former resident Russell Snowden, who now resides in Northport, Fla. Russell called last week just to say how much he enjoys the Gazette and this column. We dished about mutual friends we had, apparently Buddy Healy was one of them. I forgot to ask Russell if he ever gets up this way. If you do, give me a call.
