It was a delightful fall weekend in New York. Lush foliage, cool temps, zero humidity. I went to a farewell party for a DePauw friend. It became a latenight dance party. And I missed the extra hour of sleep. Sigh.

It was also the New York City marathon–and gosh, I stepped out of my apartment on Sunday and could barely walk there were so many people in my ‘hood. To quote my sister, Susie, “I can’t like that thing.”
