September 2022

There is something special about autumn that always draws my attention, it could be the cooler temperatures, the crispness of the air, the beautiful colors of the leaves or all the activities we all seem to enjoy during the fall. Bike rides, nights sitting out by our fire pits surrounded by good friends, or sitting in the stands at a Friday night football game with a warm blanket around our shoulders, are all activities that many of us enjoy.

As many of you might remember, last week’s Mayor’s Message dealt with good neighbors, and my experience joining a group of great neighbors at a block party in the Pinehurst Subdivision.

There are times I find myself talking to people outside Darien about our community, and I end my comments by saying that Darien really is “a nice place to live.”

Like so many individuals in my age group, I make more frequent visits to my doctor in order to deal with some of the issues that develop as we find ourselves getting older.

The other evening I was working on my Sunday crossword while Cathy was watching “Celebrity Family Feud.”
