Dub Side of the Moon

A few thoughts on
Martha's Vineyard, having just returned:
- Streetsigns. For all major roads. Get them.
- Stoplights. Or stop signs. Because 5-point intersection SUV free-for-alls aren't fun.
- "Tours all day" doesn't mean only twice daily.
- Mr. Policeman, if you'd like visitors to return and bring money to your island, stop harrassing them because they have out-of-state plates. And by harassment I mean pulling people over and making things up, only to not give a ticket because nothing happened.
- When you don't have half of your menu available, and the items are written in chalk on a chalkboard, erase them. It helps.
- Service is proportional to the number of tables. Fewer tables = poorer service.
- Why are all vegetables and rice on the island completely devoid of any discernable flavor?

Sorry there hasn't been much posting. Things around here have been a little more than the usual hectic. We just got done dogsitting for two weeks, there was a late-night photoshoot in there, and cleaning and finishing up small projects on the house culminated in an all-day shoot for "What You Get For The Money" on the
HGTV and
Fine Living networks.
That's right folks, TV. Kendra spotted the listing on Craigslist, I replied, and we were picked! Thanks to Chandra, who pitched us to the networks, Lyn the producer, and Steve the cameraman for a really great experience!
I'm exhausted. But tonight K and I are headed north (tonight!) to Martha's Vineyard for a much-needed vacation. Can't wait.
More info on the show (airing dates, etc) to be posted when we find out...

none (shooting today!)

Shooting today!
Multi-lingual flash mob to descend upon
Geno's. They may have better bread, and nicer lights, and cleaner pavements, but the xenophobia-as-American is going a little too far. I'm all for English as the language of the country, etc, but there's a little something not nice about this. Remember, we're pretty much all of foreign descent. Oh yeah,
Pat's tastes better anyway.

Very tired today. Dog sitting. Dog up all night. Me up all night. Ugh.

That is all.
