RYE — Greetings from the New Hampshire Seacoast, where I am off for some R&R (reading and recreation), with another R (relaxation) thrown in for good measure, as it is vacation time.
I started the week with a day trip Monday to Scarborough Beach, just an hour and 20 minutes’ drive from Conway. It was the start of this week’s heat wave, and I have the Irish red tan to prove it.
