I went to Hamden via New Haven so I could get a quick
look at Yale University. It’s about eight miles from New Haven
to Hamden along city streets.
I followed the same bus all the way and arrived just after
it did, proving once and for all that people should commute to
work by bicycle. In
fact, I could have made even better time if the stupid bus
hadn’t kept stopping in front of me.
Bob and Esther moved from Akron to Hamden over 40
years ago, and I haven’t seen them enough over the years.
I can’t fault them, though, as they’ve been back to
Akron (every other year or so) many more times than I’ve been to
see them in Connecticut (twice).
Their older son (my cousin) Kent lives nearby, and he and
his wife (Beth) and their Beagle (Buddy) came over after dinner.
We had a really nice evening.
