Sore ribs. Fatigue. Euphoria from a likely dip in blood oxygen. How exactly did this happen at this late hour? Maybe it’s the pulse, energy, and heartbeat of the city here in Midtown Manhattan. Maybe it’s the neon lights and halogen-hue all around. Or maybe it was Caroline’s on Broadway – one of the sweetest bites of the Big Apple. *Stand-up comedy enriches.

When I moved to Vashon from my hometown of Seattle at the end of 2020, I was delighted by many things, not least of which was the newspaper you are reading now. In an era when newspapers are dying off, it remains a vital resource for the island. I also liked the name. The Beachcomber. The word rings a bell, a little chime of pleasure. It conjures up the beguiling image of walking along the shoreline, and specifically of a larger-than-life character I daydreamed about in my youth.
