WARREN, CONNECTICUT – We’re suffering under a major Nor’easter.  Something like four inches of rain over twenty-four hours and high winds.  Winter gives up begrudgingly here.  This is the beginning of the mud season.
NEW MILFORD, CONNECTICUT – I visited a terrific craftsman’s workshop today – a man named Roger Standt who specializes in restoring wooden Chris Craft boats.  This is the inside of his shop.  I was there looking at a 1954 Chris Craft that I’m buying with a friend.  I’ve attached a picture as a comment.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Most Fridays I have lunch with my son Alexander, usually at Sidecar, upstairs from PJ Clarke’s.  Today I was carrying a camera.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – This from an errand to Jean Silversmith, a shop on West 45th Street that has and fixes anything in the way of silver service that you can image.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Back home I took a walk in Times Square at sunset.  Times Square has lost its scruffy, sleazy vibe.  It’s now more like a cross between a Disney attraction and a corporate logo theme park.
