I returned from my honeymoon last night to find my apartment full of unopened mail and my e-mailbox full of unread messages. What else is new?
I’d have much rather stayed in Connecticut, where Hilary is doing battle with a brutal case of post-marital sniffles, but Mr. Think Denk and I promised long ago to make a joint appearance this morning before a group of NEA Arts Journalism fellows, so I’m in Manhattan and Mrs. Teachout isn’t. Not until this weekend shall the twain meet again. Such are the lives of a busy married couple with two homes!
As for the events of the week just past, I’ll share some of them with you after I finish opening my mail, which won’t be today.
Later.
UPDATE: Some of the writers at this morning’s colloquy told me that they’d read my stuff when young and found it inspiring. Talk about having mixed feelings about a compliment…
