Bleak, raw, cold, rainy--pick a word or two. Street so empty that we closed a half-hour early. Guess this is a preview of things to come. We did treat ourselves to a few minutes of heat "just to take the chill off." I think this is the earliest we have done that in several years . . . Learned of another attempted mugging on our street; last night about eleven o'clock a gun-waving black man, face covered by a bandanna, accosted a couple just across the street. He got nothing, but that is not the point. Where are these "undercover" officers we have been promised? The evening restaurant business is going to dry up and there goes the tax money the city collects from these sales. It is time the mayor gets in gear. There were four other such incidents in the city over the weekend . . . John Zimmerman visited with Jack Barnett at his Shire-Max Inn in Provincetown over the weekend . . . Eric and Sarah Battisti home with the kids after a few days in Ottawa, Canada. They loved the city. It is a marvelous place though I have not been there since the l960s. Go the second week of May for the tulip festival. Astounding! In fact, the picture to the left was taken there circa 1965. It was my second visit for the celebration . . .
