P.T. Barnum, Pizza, Libraries, Bagels.

Where I am sitting is in Danbury, Connecticut. Where I am sitting is nothing like New Orleans, Louisiana.

Most of the places I have wanted to visit in Connecticut are closed at the time of day or the time of the week when I am available. The secret to happiness is low expectations. I wish you were here.

I am sitting in a pizzeria called Stanziato’s. It is surprisingly nice for a restaurant in a strip mall on Mill Plain Road in Danbury.

My mother and I had dinner here yesterday. I have gotten to know the staff, as is my usual way. Call me Mr. Chatty. I have met some some very interesting young ladies.
