“Come from away”. A NYC musical about 9/11 in Newfoundland.
Last night we went to see “Come from away” on Broadway, the show about the 7000 people who descended on Gander, Newfoundland when 38 planes were diverted on 9/11. It was really great show. They managed to turn a scary experience into a heart-warming musical. Terrific! Some will recall that

Just back from three great weeks in England, visiting our special families, as described in my last blog. I took the opportunity to reconnect with several friends from the (very) distant past, and cannot resist sharing them with you. Joe Clayton and I met 60 years ago, in 1957, when we both represented Cambridge University

You’re (still) looking well
Having recently enjoyed meeting several people that I hadn’t seen for years, I was again struck by how often they said “you’re looking well”. I wrote about this 5 years ago: “That is nice of course, but it carries an undertone of surprise, and the suggestion that perhaps you should not be well, or still

The course is consistently ranked number one in the world! A real treat to play with Jay and his son Michael. Not ostentatious or fancy, just a pure golf experience. Great course,
