I for one am very glad to have you both home, Peter and Cathie, but tinged with sadness that the overseas blog will be paused...for now. Simply loved reading your travel chapters as they unfolded. I completely agree with being old and crotchety...it comes with grey hair, I do believe. Love to you both and welcome home ♥️♥️♥️
It’s been almost a year since I started reading you and for the life of me I’ve no clue how I came across your words. But you definitely make my day, you make me smile. I’m an avid reader, all the way from Athens, Greece and I owe you part of my gratitude towards life. Thank you , Sir!
Kudos to you both for treating us all to your unselfish sharing of this strenuous adventure. Readers of The NY Times look forward to its weekly column, “Metropolitan Diary,” detailing a wide variety of civil interactions between strangers - often humorous, poignant, and invariably kind. Peter’s dispatches highlight a similar humanness we sense under assault. Thanks, my friend, for showing us that boorishness needn’t be contagious.
Thanks Jack - I think it’s a little contagious - as if people feel they’re given permission to behave badly because the political hierarchy sets the example. We have to show we’re better than this.
Good to see that you have arrived safely. And could not agree more the fallacy "What is good for business is good for everyone". Unfortunately, the market system does not have a moral underpinning

Thanks Jack - I’m sure most people behave well at most times.
