Welcome to the premier edition of the Man from Nantucket Blog

Welcome to the premier edition of The Man from Nantucket blogI am your host, Jamie Ranney, and I will be guiding you through the various trials and tribulations that the Grey Lady is experiencing out here in the middle of the ocean. I'll try to tune you into some of the more interesting goings on as well as identifying some of the people and the players for those out there in "the real world".
I was born into a middle class family in Los Angeles, California in 1968. Summers however were spent at my grandmother's house in Nantucket. In 1977 my Mom and Dad packed the family into a green Volkswagen bus with a dinghy strapped to the top and a U-Haul trailer behind and, over a truly memorable three-week period, drove me and my four (4) brothers and sisters to Nantucket to live for good. I've been here ever since.
We'll talk a little politics, we'll talk a little about some of the more controversial issues Nantucket is dealing with, we'll also talk a little bit about stuff that just generally interests me or that I think is funny or interesting about life on Nantucket. Any comment, opinion or topic suggestion is encouraged and I hope everyone enjoys.
Holler if you hear me.
