Really? Because for the last week my dog has had zero ticks.

:)

It's a brave new world.

In that case I stand by my advice to look for the best schools you can afford.

Are either you or your partner going to be commuting?

If you're not familiar with CT, some towns that are close together can be challenging to get between based on direction and time of day.

If you guys are remote, then I would just look for the town with the best school system you can afford. Can always drive to Milford or Norwalk or Stamford for that more urban feel.

What does a guy who doesn't read do in prison?

"The thing is that, of course, there are totally different ways to think about these kinds of situations. In this traffic, all these vehicles stopped and idling in my way, it’s not impossible that some of these people in SUV’s have been in horrible auto accidents in the past, and now find driving so terrifying that their therapist has all but ordered them to get a huge, heavy SUV so they can feel safe enough to drive. Or that the Hummer that just cut me off is maybe being driven by a father whose little child is hurt or sick in the seat next to him, and he’s trying to get this kid to the hospital, and he’s in a bigger, more legitimate hurry than I am: it is actually I who am in HIS way."

Awesome, thanks. I just ordered one.

What is this collar? My dog is on Simparica as well but he’s a golden doodle and when he comes into the house he’s got half a dozen riders on him. Need another solution…

They have some great cheeses for sure. We get their Camembert at my grocery store all the time.

Yeah, you can get those in MA for about $16 now.

Seriously. A few hundred bucks and a plane ticket home.

For me and my family (and my co-workers), the calculus has changed since Covid. We used to send kids to school with coughs or runny noses all the time. Now the bar is a bit higher (or lower) and we keep them home more to be safe. I hope other parents in our community are doing the same. It is much easier now for a lot of people to work from home and thus not need emergency childcare for a sick day.

The days of being a martyr and coming into the office when sick are certainly over. At least in the white collar office environment where I work. I just log in from home and do Zoom meetings when necessary.

Yeah. That’s one day every two weeks or 2-3 days in a month. My kids probably do that from colds and flu and Covid.

I live in one of those towns and love it. PM me if you want and I can tell you what I know.

Are you in San Juan?

Wife and I just had a great meal at a modern taco spot in Old San Juan... La Madre.

FYI.

Only time I’ve ever openly sobbed after reading a book. My wife was concerned. So I made her read it too.

I’m a fan of good rums. I prefer aged but will go with a Coke periodically.

At Valencia they use Mexican Coke with real sugar. And they have a good ratio of rum to coke.

Pretty tasty spot. Good empanadas. Great rum and coke.

Thanks for the help. Sorry you’re not getting extra compensation.

Why does Eversource suck so much?

Lost power at 4:30 am here in northern Fairfield County.

Really hope we get it back before the temps drop.

And great for kids if you happen to have those.

Love you too babe. Let’s have a bottle of Pinot and put the kids to bed…
