I’m back in Westport.  My plane landed in La Guardia airport, from which I took the M60 bus to 125th Street station on Metro North, and then caught a commuter train back to Westport, where a friend picked me up.  … Continue reading →

I’m spending a few days in Florida with family, some of whom live here, and others who live in New York but come down for a sort of annual family reunion.  It’s a pretty fantastic idea, seeing as today’s high … Continue reading →
