"Hey, where're ya goin'?"
Police officer of the month
Another story that Greenwich Time refuses to share with its on line readers is the announcement of a patrolman's selection as "officer of the month", a distinction earned by his alert response to and prevention of a burglary at 1 Stallion Trails (if you're in the market for house in Greenwich, by the way, either avoid houses that are right by a Merritt exit or invest in a great alarm system - our burglary friends from outside the local area like the "EZ-off, EZ-on" aspects of such locations). The cop did a fine job and hats off to him but I liked the part that said the police "noticed that the man was wearing an ankle bracelet". What kind of dummy goes on a house job wearing a probation department - installed ankle bracelet? I once complained to a colleague as we exited Stamford's criminal court that our clients were eff'in idiots and he responded, "if they weren't, we'd be out of a job". Touche.

Excellent Point - Chris - There is one major A-hole - landlord of some Greenwich Commerical Real Estate - on Greenwich Ave. - that lives on that road - and if he ever calls you - I would tell him to: 'Hang-Up While He Still Can' - I will not say his name - however - he is well known in Town!

By the way - when can we all say goodbye to: Superintendent of Schools Betty Sternberg - the town really can pick'em when it comes to this job - 'What-A-Mess' we and our children are in now!
