An array of wonderful summer flowers marks Fetlar, the greenest of the isles. Whalsay is a friendly fishing community with a busy harbor...

If I were a regular 28-year-old guy, I'd think the same thing, that I'm a watered-down teen idol. I get it," he says, drinking his second Stoli with lime at an Irish pub in midtown Manhattan. "Whenever that happens, I buy the guy who said it a shot of Jack Daniel's, and in 10 minutes I'm his new best friend." Even Jimmy Kimmel...
...think the hardest challenge for me this year has been trying to move on and live a happy life when it seems as though my world had been darkened. More than anything though, Shira hated self-pity, to the point where she would yell at her best friends if they became too self-involved.
