Josh, you keep connecting with New Yorkers like this, David and I may need to show you around and have a longer conversation in a favorite tavern.

I'd love that! I'm about 5 hours away, so we'll have to make it happen sometime. Or perhaps a Mets game early in the season when hope springs eternal??

Spring for baseball! Yes. For the Mets, hope has to be eternal. :)

Ah, this is the result of an email exchange that we've cleaned up a bit! But I'm glad it sounds extemporaneous. Thanks for reading. 😊

Thanks Alison! Given what I know about your background, I'm sure you have your own version of those pivotal moments.

I guess we all do--the interesting piece is looking back and seeing them, so clearly. So often, at the time, it felt to be in a fog. Choosing between two of seemingly similar value--always makes the choice tougher.
