“You are giving people an opportunity to correct a wrong.” Those words were spoken within an hour of.
“They’ve erased you from their history?! How can they do that? You being there is a fact. Are they changing the facts?”
“You don’t go to Greece for the cooking,” someone told us. We believed them and prepared to rent a house with a stove and do our own cooking that long ago sabbatical winter. We’d looked on the map and observed that Crete is on the same latitude as San Diego, so we left our woolies at home. Those were the days when it snowed on Vashon Island and one winter it had got down to 15 degrees in January.

There is nothing ambiguous about the tide. It’s either coming in or going out; except when it is slack, or not doing much at all. Being caught by the tide can be frightening. The West passage of Vashon is famous for it’s fast moving tides, some going over 4 knots and always flowing North whether the tide is ebbing or flooding.
As part of its on-going series, “Reading, Listening and Responding”, All Island Forum will host an opportunity for more community conversation focusing on the Heart of Vashon performance reading and project. On Sunday, February 28 from 3-5pm at Blue Heron,
I don’t know about you, but I found that the recent revelation that scientists had found something that would confirm Einstein’s theory about gravitational waves somewhat disturbing. I say this because, at least on the surface, the idea that it takes all kind of research and special equipment to discover something supposedly earth shattering, or at least physics-mind bending, is mind bending in itself.
As the Sanders campaign becomes more and more credible, the pundits, rightly, are scrutinizing the viability and popularity of his campaign promises. That is all well and good. It is true that such changes need to be well considered and thought out.
Harbor School’s Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that Mark McGough has been appointed as Harbor School’s next Head of School. Mark will officially begin his tenure July 1, 2016. The Board’s unanimous decision to appoint Mr. McGough was based on the endorsements and positive support of the Search Committee and the participation of the school’s parent, faculty and alumni community.
Lent is upon us. It is a Christian season of the year, forty days and nights, not counting Sundays, marked by prayer, fasting, and self-examination, with the intended purpose of repentance and improving oneself, one’s behavior, and the practice of one’s faith.
We spend so much time staring at brightly lit computer screens and TV that we need to put some conscious thought into how to take care of our vision. Good food can be a big part of that care.
Facebook memories tells me this time last year the great siege had taken over. The notation reads “Eye treatment on top of flu relapse....hot compresses on my chest...” Eight days later I found out it was not ‘flu relapse’, it was pneumonia.
Islanders Daryl Redeker and Sam and Sara Van Fleet, known as Van Redeker, think hard about how to put energy into a crowd. Redeker, who teaches guitar, speaks fondly of the band’s beginnings. “It was spooky how easy it was to talk without worrying what to say,” says the lead guitarist.
From roving giant puppets to puppet and comedy shows, Vashon Island’s Zambini Brothers are a versatile and always entertaining troupe of puppeteers and artists. The puppets are handmade from papier-mâché and unusual materials, making every character unique, beautiful and engaging.
Maggie Laird and her band perform an all-original set at the Red Bike, including the songs from her new CD release, One More Manhattan. Recorded last June in Nashville, this set was first performed to a standing-room-only crowd at Maggie’s album release party at the Skylark Café in Seattle.
When a clarion call rang out from the opinion pages of the Beachcomber last fall that terrorists had bombed the athletic facilities at the high school, I decided I should probably go take a look. In truth, David Hackett’s warning about the sorry state of many aspects of the VHS athletic facilities wasn’t really about terrorists, although the shock and awe contained therein smacked of sensational rhetoric.
When you run out of almond milk and have to go purchase more put on a loose fitting dress and a mismatched sweater, preferable hand knit. Finish your outfit off with a pair of rubber boots. No, nothing fancy. If they look new, walk through a couple mud puddles on your way to your Subaru before going to run your errands.
Bach’s “Ode to Joy” poured out of the windows of the homestead at Portage and onto the beach. The sun was setting and the clams were all squirting in time with the music, as if they sensed the rise and fall of the notes.
Right now, we are facing a serious threat to our safety and freedom. As is so often the case, this threat is coming from good people, well-intentioned people who seek only to protect society. But good intentions aren’t enough.
The differences between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are becoming apparent. Unlike the Republicans, the Democrats have had some good debates that have clarified their positions on specific issues. I am disregarding O’Malley at this point because, as appealing as he is, he is not seriously in contention right now.
Granny’s Attic will celebrate our First Anniversary in Vashon Plaza and mark the end of our fortieth year of service during the Reopening on February 6, 2016. The store will be closed for the annual facility maintenance, January 27 to February 5.
Donald Trump. Well, my goodness is he just something or what!?
My host family for the year and I have divergent views on politics, but this we agree on: Donald Trump requires the shaking of the head. Yes, he is scary. But what is really scary is his following.
