My dad taught me to tie my shoe, to ride a bike, to write true and timely thank you notes, to make an egg sandwich, that when I’m down it helps to make a cake, to stand up for myself without blaming others, to be humble, that hard work is its own reward, that words are wonderful, that parties are an essential part of life, to join in, to dance without hesitation, to seek friends in unexpected places, that I am strong, that it’s my own opinion of myself that matters most, that I am loveable not for what I accomplish, but for who I am. Thank you, Dad.

Nantucket! Take out your map and look at it. See what a real corner of the world it occupies; how it stands there, away off shore, more lonely than the Eddystone lighthouse. Look at it- a mere hillock, and elbow of sand; all beach, without a background.

Love this intro to the 1980’s sitcom Wings about a couple of (very cute) pilots on Nantucket. I think Crosswinds, the restaurant at Nantucket Memorial Airport, is the best place for breakfast on the island.
