It’s Saturday and several hundred thousand Connecticut residents remain without power. We were fortunate.

For reasons that are well understood, we haven’t had much of a social life these past four months. When the weather caused us to punt on an outdoor get-together for Father’s Day, I mentioned to our daughter Faith, that Old Sturbridge Village was planning to reopen in July, and maybe we could plan a short...
