Day 1, Friday May 24th:

Today I left Brighton at 4:30pm and arrived in Larchmont, NY at 8:00pm.  Literally battling Memorial day traffic,  a truck nearly ran me off the road - but I survived.  Spending the night with Helene and Leonard Raifman’s was very filling.  Upon my arrival we promptly ate dinner which consisted of salad, broccoli, pasta, meatballs, and garlic bread, all washed down with a bottle of wine.  Dessert could have been a meal on its own, comprising of a fruit platter, chocolate ice cream, and staring the delicious 3 containers of cookies.  Afterwards, we nursed our food coma as the three of us simultaneously dozed off while watching tv.   ~Jeremy
