You noticed I was off for two weeks? I had an interesting staycation. I was in the hospital recovering from hip replacement surgery and then at home recovering.

It was messy but the Patriots did win against the Jets Monday night.

I have been through many shortages on Martha’s Vineyard.

As you well know, these are treacherous times.
