North Haven Welcomes P.C. Richard & Son

But I have to wonder who will be able to shop there, given our economic straits.

Strangely, we've had a vigorous debate about the ability of residents to afford their tax increase for next year's budget, but the shopping plazas on Universal Drive are always hopping, and all of the restaurants are packed on evenings and weekends, so far as I can tell.

Elena Kagan's Nomination

I spent several weeks last summer watching every minute of the hearings for Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court. Looks like I'll pass my summer in a similar fashion this year.

It seems that I, like everyone else (her friends included), know very little about Ms. Kagan's temperament, legal philosophy, and Constitutional leanings. I'll admit that makes me very nervous.

One thing I do know is that the opposition is engaging in the kind of selective memory and judgment that is par for the course for all politicians, but especially for their side.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
