76 Days Left on Martha's Vineyard


Sights along my walk

Not that I'm counting.  I'm looking forward to the next month.  I spend 3 weeks away - the first in North Carolina on The Outer Banks, and the next 2 in Maryland.  Laurie and I will spend a few days in MD, then a few days in NYC, then a week or so in MV.  I hope the weather improves.

I took my first 45-minute walk today.  I went towards Oak Bluffs, but had to take three turns around the boat ramp parking lot before the bridge because it becomes very narrow and there's no sidewalk.  The most interesting part of the walk (no offense to the rest) was the parking lot.  There were seagulls aplenty; a scallop in every beak.  (That must be the bird equivalent of FDR's a-chicken-in-every-pot depression era speech.)  The pavement was littered with scallop shells plucked from the pond and recently denuded of their occupants.

I got evaluated and promoted on Textbroker.com...that comes with a 40% pay increase, from a penny a word to 1.4 cents per word.  :-)   Tomorrow I will write an article on the advantage of buying cabinets online vs. at your local store.
