Around the island….

That's Andrea Champlin with baby Alexis this past weekend - the Friday Harbor grad and her husband have moved back to the island, which has gotta make grandparents Bev & Dave happy.

Let’s see what’s going on around here:

Heading back to school in Montana...college frosh Conner Johns dropped by the island for spring break, and he'll be back when Carroll University's spring term end in early May.

• You were probably late to work today if you forget to re-set your clock for Daylight Savings Time. Hope you enjoyed sleeping in.

Next up: Equinox, this coming weekend.

• I hear former island girl Kristina Thalacker is engaged to her sweetie Patrick Ewing (not the NBA one.)

• Coach Rob Cuomo & the lacrosse team played four games in a two-day tournament in Bellingham this past weekend to get their season going…one of the guys said the Dragons lost to the eventual champs by one. Sounds like we have another strong squad this year – the team plays at home this coming weekend.

• Big weekend this coming Friday (Mr. San Juan Contest at Roche Harbor) and Sunday (the Run Ladies Run 10K)….getting ready!

Most of 'em were from out of town...

• At shows at the Community Theatre, SJCT director Merritt Olsen usually asks for a show of hands to see how many people came from off-island to see the show, and usually gets a handful of raised hands.

At Friday’s show for the Irish Music Camp’s teachers, since the crowd included over 120 people who came to camp, and their friends & family, it showed a lot of folks had come from points near & far.

Have you been by to see the new Bean Coffeehouse? Check it out...that's the place the other day in the morning sun...the first reviews for the place have been good. Drop by & have a cup (and eat, too!) Located right behind Pelindaba, on First Street.
