Treasure Island

There is nothing more annoying than the New Years Resolution you just can’t keep. (I’m still listening to ‘N Sync. Sorry, 1999). So this year I took the necessary precautions: I’m blogging to avoid Resolution Failure. And my resolution? Discover Bainbridge Island. Really discover it. To those of you with the same resolution (or no resolution…it’s only January 6th, better late than never), we will jump, nay, leap this hurdle together.

But first, know your blogger. A little bit about me: After having spent the last 4 summers on this saucy little Island, I recently became a full-time resident. I moved here from quite a different atmosphere: Boston. And I will let you in on a shameful secret: I didn’t take advantage of all there was to do in that great eastern city, and I plan to take it out on poor Bainbridge. I just finished my masters in journalism, and I work for two wonderful women here on the Island: dynamic literary agent Sharlene Martin of Martin Literary Management, and New York Times Bestselling author, Susan Wiggs. I know, rough right?

So here’s the deal: I hope to take my precious extra time, add it to my pressing drive for experience, and toss in my need for adventure in order to provide some (hopefully not overwhelming and certainly not underwhelming, just whelming enough) advice on what to do, where to go, who to see, and how to do it— on this dazzling gem of an Island.

Check back in a few days. I have two words for you: Belly Dancing.
