Time's Running Out

Labor Day Weekend is approaching, which is a good time to take stock on my progress of my Hamptons Summer. So how have we done?

Well, I've completely failed to visit the Parrish Art Museum, the Atlantis Aquarium in Riverhead, Madame Tongs, any of the Southampton Cultural Center's Concerts in the Park, to go horseback riding in Montauk, or to pick any of my own produce at any local farm - so as far as achieving my planned goals, not so good.

On the other hand, I've run 5 different races, played a lot of summer gigs on the North and South Forks, visited wineries and new restaurants, acquired some great finds at yard sales, made some wonderful new friends, got a soft top installed on the Jeep and put some miles on it - so as far as having a fantastic summer, pretty well.

So here's the plan. In September, I'm going to see what I can do about that initial To-Do list, starting with the Shinnecock Nation Pow-Wow this weekend. After all, the beauty of being a local is that those things are still there for me in the off-season!
