Martha's Vineyard is famous for eerie coincidences, some touching luminaries who live here.

At a ceremony in the State House’s Hall of Flags, Rep. Terrence P. McCarthy was presented with a flag for the new state of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

I know it is unpopular, but I am a lifetime lover of snow.

In the evening the turkeys put themselves to bed. I take in the sight at the West Tisbury graveyard, my car parked at the side of the sharp curve in the road, the dog Artichoke by my side.

There must have been something in it, because the robins came back and sang cheerfully.

It may be that after more than 25 years, the idea of some freight service to the Vineyard coming through New Bedford (bypassing Falmouth) could become a reality.
