Cheeseburgers in Paradise.  No excuses, Professor beach got FAT! 225 lbs FAT.  After years of exploring and enjoying beaches around the world it just wasn't fun anymore. No more fun because when I got to the beach I was ashamed to take off my shirt. Ever feel that way?

My last beach exploring trip to Florida really did it. I just sat in a beach chair under an umbrella. Didn't even want to swim or walk on the beach because I was just too uncomfortable in my skin. Just too much of me “in my skin”. Fast forward two months and I'm down to 205 lbs and on my way to a fit and healthy lifestyle. Join me on my pursuit of health and once again walking the beach with my shirt off.   Watch my progress and see how I did it here.

After the horrible fire on Monday, the Harbor is now up and running .

Quoted in The Martha’s Vineyard Times Online

“Dennis Jason, Chilmark harbormaster, said the harbor is back in business.

Menemsha Station chief Jason Olsen said the 25-foot patrol boat is now on station. The next goal, he said, is to find a berth for the 47-foot motor lifeboat.

The Coast Guard once again asked that anyone who took photos of the area just before the fire, or who saw the first indication of smoke or flames, to contact the Coast Guard at 508-645-2661.”

Obama’s Vineyard Visit Sparks Tabloid’s Sneers at an Old Broadsheet

By ELIZABETH WILLIAMSON

OAK BLUFFS, Mass. — President Barack Obama was looking for quiet family time on Martha’s Vineyard this week. But the first family’s vacation has fanned a long-running newspaper war here between the island’s upmarket broadsheet and its scrappy, free tabloid.

The Vineyard Gazette, a coffee-table-sized broadsheet, welcomed the president with a 16-page special section headlined: “From Our Island to Our President.”

In a front-page open letter to the president, Gazette editor Julia Wells wrote: “There is promise, Mr. President, that you may actually get … downtime with your family, at Blue Heron Farm in Chilmark, a town that still counts its ballots in a wooden hand-cranked ballot box. A town that voted overwhelmingly for you.”
