One year ago today, in the early morning hours, Hurricane Ike came ashore in Galveston.
I couldn’t let the day pass without noting its significance.
However, I decided, as a new Galvestonian, to take a page from the playbook of the old Galvestonians, and not dwell upon the past, but look instead to the future.
And the future is bright for Galveston. We make our future bright!
So pull up a beach chair, wriggle your toes in the sand, slice some brie for a cracker, pop the top on a favorite cool beverage.
The water’s perfect and there’s no better place to be than at the water’s edge on this, the perfect day.
