island zone

The Christmas decorations are up on the island, the deserted downtown bright with tinsel trees and lighted sailboats, the shuttered hotels garlanded with evergreen and wreaths. Never mind that at the moment it's 60 degrees.
The zoning board met last night to hear my case. The lawyer was there, the architect was there, I was there. The architect and I were dutiful puppets to the lawyer's questioning, and it looks as if we will be unanimously approved in mid January. After that, just one more approval and then--yikes.
