Visit to the States

With apologies to my Washington friends, I was in the States this past week, visiting friends and family in New York and Massachusetts. It was a whirlwind visit, that included attendance at the Columbia Athletics Hall of Fame Awards Dinner (with my mom), the Columbia/Princeton Homecoming game, lunch with my friend Vi (with a surprise appearance by Cynthia Nixon, her goddaughter), time with my niece Chelsea, a Barnard freshman, and her dad, Kenny; golf with my Dad, an afternoon with my brother, Eric, and his wife Jan, and my nephew Ned. And catch up phone calls with several of you! Pictures are to the right. Other memorable moments: runs in Central Park, watching the VP and Presidential debates, mailing in my absentee ballot, and catching up with Ula, Carrie, Rachel, Philippa, Judy, Clara, Christine, Laura and her new son, David.

My next trip to the States will be in December when I fly into Dulles for visits with my Washington friends!
