It was really sort of an unplanned hiatus. I’ve just been very, very busy. Work has been crazy with staff turnover, getting people trained and functions…
I was thinking about this the other day, in terms of what groups you belong to, what terms you use to describe yourself, etc. Mostly it came to mind because someone made reference to the fact that I didn’t seem like a typical New Yorker, even though that is where I grew up. Did growing…
