Meanwhile in Town…

Ready to open on Thursday: "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown!" The cast (Jim “Shu” Carroll, Scott Mapstead, Doug Schirmer, Amanda Lee Smith, Jill Urbach, Nicholas Zervas) gather 'round Snoopy's house...

Let’s look around a bit…

• There’s an open house at Harper Poesy today – Tea will be welcoming people to her hair studio in Surina Business Park from 4-8pm, with a chance to get 20% off/gift certificates, music, and a raffle for cool stuff, including a year’s worth of haircuts. Drop by & say hey!

It was fun to see Ryan & Kaia on the ferry this past weekend, as they got away to visit Saltspring Island for a bit....

+++++++++++++

• I hear from the folks at Friday Harbor High that both Greg & Jenny came through the surgery yesterday just fine, and are in re-cupe mode today…no problems. I feel pretty sure they can feel the love & support of a whole island that is cheering for them & wishing them the best.

+++++++++++++

Gas in Canada: I got about seven & a half gallons for $40 this past weekend on Vancouver Island...a liter is about a quart, so you can do the math to see how much over $5 our friends there have to compute....

• I checked in with FHHS coach Rich Warin about the baseball team’s amazing Monday – they won both playoff games to earn a chance to go to State – wahoo! Way to go, Wolverines!

He said FHHS got timely hitting in the first game & rallied at the end to take the second in Monday’s two games, and he’s proud of the guys. Now they play Bellevue Christian here on Wednesday (tomorrow!) at 5pm…a win punches our ticket to state, while a loss sends us to the weekend to play two to get to state THAT way. (If we win Wednesday, we’ll still play on Saturday, but that’s for seeding.)

+++++++++++++

• Open, and opening: The BBQ Shack (in the old Dos Diablos/Amigos spot) opened last weekend, and Jim Carroll told me last night the Cask & Schooner is coming along nicely in the old Ale House spot, although he didn’t offer an opening date. More on the bowling alley restaurant soon….

+++++++++++++

• Katie Jones has the eye for great pictures & she shoots some great ones, including these on her Spyhopper Travels website of the humpback whales she saw Sunday…check ’em out!

Humpbacks in the 'hood...they were up & down the coast of Vancouver Island on Sunday, and swam over this way, too...photo by Katie Jones (Katie, you rock!)
