back to ack

This picture was taken on the coldest , bitterest (not sure if that's a word but only proves the extreme absurdity of the temperature) day of the year on the highspeed ferry to Nantucket. It's a "production still" - Michael and I made a cameo appearance in a movie being filmed by the London Film School. The shot consisted of us walking (or skating for the sheer ice coating) out across the deck of the boat, gazing out at the horizon, turning lovingly towards each other, locking lips and then skating back across the deck.

Yep, we got up at 5 a.m. to drive down to the Cape and hop on the ferry in order to freeze our buns off for productions stills and copies of the dvd (still waiting on those). And the experience, of course!

As we pulled into the harbor, I longingly pointed out some of the places I've come to know and love over the fifteen years I've been visiting the island, thanks to my dearest Eliza. Most of them were closed for the season, but I could see Michael working up the mental images of "hot fun in the summertime, " having never been before. We didn't even step foot on the island before we were highspeeding it back to Hyannis, with the visions of summer tempting us to come back.

We're headed back to Nantucket this weekend for Film Festival to do some networking and maybe a little hobnobbing. Also to check out Eliza's latest accomplishment - the design of the newly opened LoLa! A much needed, quick little getaway - work, fun, food and sun! There will be a full report of any and all celebrity sightings upon our return.

What am I going to wear?! Dressy but not overly so, hip but island-esque, hot... but chilly nights. The funny thing is that Michael will obsess more than me... I have a feeling we'll be going shopping before our departure on Saturday.

Sounds like the movie made up for the chilly morning. At least it is a moment to remember.
