Welcome

Greetings and welcome to my second blog. As I say in My Credo to the left, I was hesitant to start blogging about myself again because I don't particularly like to write about myself, but after inquiries from many friends, I decided to start up a new blog.

As you may know, I'm over four weeks into a summer internship at Mackinac Island's community paper The Town Crier.

I've enjoyed everything about the experience so far. The scenery is gorgeous, the people are incredibly charming, and the Island offers so much in terms of entertainment and writing.

Over the next few months I hope to take you inside some of my journeys here on the Island through videos that I'm trying to figure out how to use and hope to keep you updated on things so when we may not talk everyday, we can offer other ways to stay in touch. Before my return to civilization, I hope to see many of you up here.

A Quick Rundown So Far:

- So far I've covered everything from City Council meetings to school field trips at the Island's Waste Water Management Facility. I've enjoyed it all. I didn't really know how much I'd enjoy writing about non-sports things, but so far it's been a great learning experience and like I said, it's been really fun too.

- Every boy dreams about being a cowboy when they're little. I had the opportunity to go horseback riding for the first time in my life over Memorial Day weekend to quench some of those childhood fantasies. I called my horse Comet in honor of one of my favorite childhood shows, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, even though his name was really Eagle.

- Mackinac Island is a place well known for many hauntings. More on that coming in the future as I intend on exploring some of these claims.

- For more on the Island lifestyle, please see http://seangary.blogspot.com/. Together we write about 3/4 of the weekly paper produced here on the Island. I also encourage you to check out my blog about my true passion - hockey - at http://fisheric.blogspot.com/. I've enjoyed reading many of your blogs in the meantime and would love to post the links on my sidebar. So help me out a little with that kids.
