Weekly Wanderings: March 1, 2026

A view of Queens from an Amtrak train approaching New York from the north.

Does anyone else feel like the first two months of 2026 have included enough activity and events for a whole year? I suspect I’m not the only one who has already maxed out. Let’s keep the chaos and upheaval to a minimum in March, hmmm?

Thanks for joining me this week.
