I’m CooCoo For New Metro-North Texting Service
The morning was a bit weird. It was Little G’s “graduation” from pre-school up in Priusville (can any male of a certain age hear “Pomp and Circumstance” anymore without thinking of “Animal House”?), so I attended, then shot over to … Continue reading

If It’s Hailing, Then I’m Hailing
Twice in the past three days, I thought I could get to my NYC destination from the northern ‘burbs without the aid of a car. Twice, I was foiled. The Missus took Little G and Little Miss C away for … Continue reading
