Normally I declare Saturday nights here my party nights. They’ll normally consist of me having a few drinks at the house in the Village, then I’ll start bar-hopping at The Gatehouse for $1 Molsons after 9 p.m. and I’ll wander over to The Pink Pony for more drinks and see to my favorite Island musician Myk Rise. It’s fun. I meet a ton of people, and I enjoy some great music. I’d love to go out every night but that wouldn’t be a wise financial decision. Last Saturday I got a little sloppy, wound up drunk-dialing half a dozen of my friends (who said they thought it was hilarious, thank God), and stumbled around into the wee hours of the night. It was still a blast and unfortunately for me, there is video evidence of my belligerence. It was so funny to watch it because I honestly didn’t remember a whole lot from the night.

Anyways last weekend, I kept up with my Saturday routine. Sunday, I spent four hours on a yacht courtesy of skipper Dave Rowe of the Mackinac Island Yacht Club. That was a blast. I got a crash course in sailing, had a few beers, and enjoyed some quality time with Mr. Rowe, who is probably the nicest guy in the universe.

Tuesday morning, I went parasailing. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do since I got here. I was supposed to go last Saturday, but unfortunately the winds were too strong for it. Instead I went Tuesday, and that was amazing. It was a whole new way to see the Island and enjoy some of the adventure that my internship location has allowed me to experience. From 600 feet in the air, you can see a lot.

Anyways, the world premiere of Fish vs. Wild was supposed to be Monday, but we just got internet back at work, so that will have to be delayed. It is finished and will be worth the wait.
