Gossips Is Back!

After spending a full month at Columbia Memorial Hospital, where I seem, as a patient, to have proved the truth of Murphy's Law, I'm back at home, at my computer, poised once again to resume Gossips news and commentary about Hudson. Anecdotes from my extended stay at the hospital may find their way into Gossips posts over the next few weeks, but for now I have nothing but good things to say about the nursing staff who took care of me during those endless days and nights of being a patient. 

It will take a while for Gossips to get back up to speed, but in the meantime, this morning's recommended reading is Sam Pratt's post about the notorious history of the Girls' Training School--now the site of the Hudson Correctional Facility--which appeared on his blog yesterday: "Cigar stumps, careless tongues, secret cemeteries, slave labor & South Bay."

  8. We were worried Carol, and did not know where to turn to find out news about where you had gone. I.e. Gossips would have told us but Gossips was Gone! Welcome back

  12. Carole, beloved friend. It was so good to see you appear on my screen this morning. Yours is the only reliable news I get from America (other than from Jennifer A and Al Jezeera on TV).

    Hugs, and welcome back
