The sounds of New York City car horns and jackhammers have been supplanted with lawnmowers and birds as I take up temporary residency in beautiful Southampton, N.Y., courtesy of friend and PR maven Liz Derringer. I'll be here for the next several weeks working on a long-term project that I hope will provide a launching pad for the next step in my journalism career.
I arrived Tuesday via an easy ride from Brooklyn on the Long Island Railroad. Liz picked me up and we toured the gargantuan homes that give the locale its rep for the beautiful people oozing millions of dollars. Then, with her pooches Coco and Jasmine, we stopped by the beach, where a cool wind caressed, amid cool temps in the upper 60s. Paradise, indeed.
This morning I was up at 8:30 and took a 5-minute walk to Main Street. So peaceful, friendly, easy, quiet... Now it's time for focused research, strategizing and in the afternoon, hopefully, words will begin to take hold on the page.
