TRANSCRIPT: I told you how we started our chicken collection, I think. When I was working on chick embryos at the NIH, I would order two dozen embryonated eggs and only use about 10. She [Ruth] asked what do we do with the other ones? I said I throw them away. That was almost the first divorce. She said bring them home, so I did, and we had lots of chickens in Washington.

But there's so much work that needs to be done there. And it's expensive and as long as we can afford it, I love the environment. We overlook a reservoir, Lake Titicus and North Salem. It's on the way to Boston, Boston's only three hours away, three and a half, providing you carefully avoid Route 95. One reason we moved was because of the commute from Boston to New York. But we still have friends in Boston and Ruth has too, so a fly-by-night visit might be therapeutic, but we'll see.
