Lord, help me. Not only am I overwhelmed by inactivity, I am also currently on a mission to try every restaurant I haven’t visited yet on the Vineyard. This is hard to accommodate without a steady job. But I’m no pushover. I’ll keep on eating. The husband and I went out for sushi the other day. First of all, I can’t believe he finally tried it and second of all, he loved it. In fact, he preferred the plate of sashimi. The wonder of it all. This was at the Lookout Tavern, which of course looks out over the pier in Oak Bluffs. Seeing how the place was packed and there was a wait for the cool tables, we opted to sit at the sushi bar and watch the knives fly over all that raw fish. It was pretty awesome. It was even better when accompanied by rum punch and the “happiness is…” margarita. While we were dining, my better half, as he has been known to do, decided to engage in conversation with any and all of the sushi chefs who could speak English
This is where the action is. Where hopes and dreams meet harsh realities like middle age, household chores, marriage, cooking, family and friends, raising kids, and keeping the faith on a planet filled with beautiful turmoil.
