Stanley-Whitman House CT National Historic Landmark 37 High Street, Farmington This is nice - an opportunity to "revisit," in a way, a historic house museum that I was rushed though by Damian on one of his "off" days.

Winvian Farm
Our Day With Paolo From Rome. In a Helicopter. Swoon. Winvian Farm, Morris January 23, 2010 [2018 Update: This is definitely a place that deserves a revisit... if only because I really want to revisit this place and take much better/bigger pictures.] It is so incongruous to everything else surrounding it, and so … [Read more...]

Connecticut Magazine Profile
February 2010 issue of Connecticut Magazine – It's here: An article about yours truly! (See below.) Dan called me out of the blue one night from his place down in Yale in November or December 2008.
