Yesterday I had the
distinct pleasure of driving through central Connecticut, one of the least
pleasant things in the world, during rush hour.One of the few things that would motivate me to attempt
such a foolish expedition waited for my wife and I in New Haven.My daughter took the train up from New York
City to spend the weekend with us.There
was a short cut that I normally use where two interstate highways come together that
always saves us from the worst of the traffic around Hartford.Apparently the word is out about that
shortcut because the roads were absolutely jammed.After some fairly adventuresome tactics we
avoided the worst of the carnage and escaped the madness that is the
Connecticut state highway system.We
made the obligatory stop at Zorbas where the giant pepperoni pizza administered
its normal medicinal effects and soon Connecticut was a distant memory as I reveled
in the company of my two favorite ladies.We later arrived at home and spent the rest of a fabulous New England summer
evening out on the deck.Buddy was doing
his best to entertain us but mostly left us to amuse ourselves.A phone call to our New Hampshire friend made
us realize we would have to modify our planned excursion up there for
today.We will shortly leave for Rhode Island
to attend the high school graduation of my sister’s son.It should be a good day, I’m getting to spend
it with some great people.
