I had connectivity problems last night so I was not able to blog. Yesterday I had a lovely drive down backroads from VT to Westchester (Brewster). I drove 50-55 mph and just soaked int he beautiful scenery. I arrived in Brewster for dinner with an friend. It was wonderful to catch up on the evolution of this young woman from completion of her MPH to a competent professional and mother. A great margarita and Shrimp Diabolo were enjoyed as well.
I then drove to Teaneck, NJ through the Bronx and across the George Washington Bridge (GWB). While I lived in NYC for 10 years, I did not have a car and I don’t think I had driven over the GWB before last night. Following the GPS and trying to watch signage was a bit of a challenge but I made it. Traffic was really not bad. When I got to my destination I admit I had. feeling of accomplishment. It amazed me that within 10 minutes of being on the GWB, I was in suburbia. It was dark when I arrived so I couldn’t. fully appreciate the neighborhood.
This morning when I went out to the car, I felt like I had walked into a set of a TV show – Ozzie and Harriet. The homes looked exactly like the outside shots of all of the 50-60’s sit coms.
In the afternoon, 2 women joined my host and I and we had a wonderful time on the patio drinking champagne, wine and eating all the foods I do not normally eat. These are all friends from my years at Pfizer. Two of the women live in NYC and were a part of the millions that were “trapped” inside when Covid attached NYC a year ago.
Tomorrow I will take the bus into Manhattan for lunch and if the weather is reasonable, I will go down to the new World Trade Center. The weather for Friday-Sunday is not great, but hopefully it will be better than is predicted.
