• There are just a couple of weekends left for the Shakespeare Under the Stars show The Winter’s Tale by Island Stage Left…the show runs Thursday-Sunday this week and Thursday-Saturday next week. Here’s what one play-goer said about this year’s show:

“After seeing the play last night I’ve decided that “The Winter’s Tale” is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. I love the we way are dropped into the height of paranoia and supreme tragedy and like a fairy tale we are lifted out and into a world where laughter reigns and beings make peace. Thank you for a most inspiring evening.”

See you there!

• Hey, if you need someone to look after your store in town for a day or two (or a bit longer) because you have to get away, I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about Debbie Dickinson‘s “store sitting.” She does bookkeeping, too!

• If the clouds allow, and your sleeping habits usher you outside, maybe you’ll see the Perseid Meteor Shower tonight or tomorrow night. The Perseids are at their peak Saturday morning near midnight with the weekend’s full moon, so it may be hard to see ’em.

You have to stay up late to make it work –here’s the deal.

Old news is still good news - that's Ron, Meghan, Susan, and Brian at the Ironman competition in St. George, UT back in the spring - sure proud of our iron-people!
