The usually five hour drive to New Jersey took eight and a half hours on Wednesday. Blame needs to be assigned and the first portion goes to the people of Massachusetts. Honestly folks, the tolls on the Mass Pike have FastLane so use it. Don't worry about the government tracking you--they do that already. Let's also blame the rain.
Going back to New Hampshire is very hard. Happy Will wanted me to stay; he offered me his extra toothbrush. The good New York Times sections arrive on Saturday here instead of Sunday. WNYC features the soothing voices of Leonard Lopate and Brian Lehrer (sorry, Laura Knoy). Creature comforts. I am a creature and I wanted to be comforted.
