Stop, look and listen
I almost hit three Greenwich Academy girls this morning - my fault - I saw them walking parallel to the road, took my eyes off the road for a second and they were suddenly in the crosswalk. I got some well deserved sneers from the dears as I braked to avoid them but in my defense, these kids never looked for traffic, just strode into the crosswalk secure in the knowledge that cars would stop for them. I'm sure that growing up in a Back Country mansion and having one's own tumbled-marble bath suite conveys certain advantages in life but it will all be for naught if our little princesses don't look before crossing the road. Outside of Greenwich life, including inattentive drivers, happens.

Yes - it sure does happen - our Grand-Daughter - attends G - A - and thank 'God' our 'Little Angel' is so sweet and kind - and gets a-long with all - and - yes - there is nothing 'High and Mighty' about her - just a sweet lovable ll year old child - God - we love her so!
We went to the 'Parents' dinner last night - it certainly is a blessing that she is going there - God is so good to us!
Who is the crazy person on this blog who continues to put almost every other word in 'quotes'. It is really annoying.
I don't "know", but I suppose a "teacher" long ago taught him that he was "supposed" to use "quotation marks" every now and then and, although he never "learned" where they went, he "adds" them at "random", just to be "correct".
"Hope" this helps!
Maybe the "crazy person" is using quotes for emphasis because he or she doesn't know how to format for italics, if that's possible in the comments section. He or she sounds like a nice, loving person, not so "crazy" to me.
As for the Academy, while it's not perfect, I think it's a blessing for most girls who go there.
Sorry - this 'Crazy Person' yes -has been called worse - will try to stop using the 'quotes' - glad a few besides Chris are posting - looking forward to doing some business with Chris in the near future ( we hope ) - some of our family members have in the past - we love 'Chris' - a good 'Teacher' for all of us to learn from - sorry to be annoying - I'll stop posting for a-while - have a great weekend to all!
You're not annoying and I, for one, enjoy your perspective! I suspect that you've been around Greenwich longer than most, and that's a good thing.
Just try to avoid all the quotes and dashes, and your always interesting postings will be easier for everyone to read.
Great post! This is one of the things that drives me crazy, people just entering a crosswalk and expecting cars to stop on a dime. Almost as annoying as those who feel entitled to make a right hand turn into Whole Foods from the left hand lane, while talking on a cell phone. I'm sure you see a few of these ladies at some of your Open Houses...
I would never criticize a loyal reader, so if he wants to use quotes in an original way, God bless him. May he keep reading and keep posting.
