last gasp of summer at Captain Jack’s Wharf

Last week’s essay on WCAI was about waiting. Waiting and longing and pining. Yearning, even. I am good at all those things except for waiting. I am in a waiting stage of life, it seems. Waiting is more of an advent kind of thing, and it feels weird to be suspended in my waiting during the summer. But, I guess summer is over now (three full days into fall and already we are cold here on the island). There’s always something new to wait for.

Ah, and, if you are a history buff you can catch my latest article on the development of Surf-Side–and the ill-fated, four-story Surfside Hotel!–in the fall issue Nantucket Today.

I’ve got a story on the 99s women pilots on Nantucket coming out in the winter issue of Nantucket Today, so you’ll just have to wait…ha ha…for that!
