Island Chill

Earlier today the ferry pulled up to Nantucket docks loaded with 500 purple-attired football fans and 40 cars from Martha's Vineyard for the Island Cup annual grudge match of Nantucket vs. Martha's Vineyard. Even though it was in the mid-20s and worse with the wind chill, we did our community spirit thing and went out to cheer on the Nantucket Whalers, who eventually lost 43-22 to the Martha's Vineyarders. We lasted only 10 minutes out in the cold, the Southern California wimps that we are! On a more positive note, my son Ben called last night as soon as he got the results from the California bar exam he took in July. He passed and will be sworn in early in December. I'm heading west to witness this special event and also to thaw out! Update: I forgot to add a link to an interview Craig and I did with Martha's Vineyard Magazine when we attended our first Island Cup game just after arriving on Nantucket in November 2006. http://www.mvmagazine.com/2007/not-summer/nantucket.php
