Still in hiding this week.

Way too much dodgy stuff going on all around right now.

I did update the scorecard though with a couple of events that will probably involve driving, or some complex public transportation planning.

Talking of public transportation, I have extended the reach of the scorecard to list several solid cask venues that can be visited (less than two hours from NYC) via the various lines of the MTA Metro-North Railroad.

I intend to keep the list updated and add to it when I stumble over anything promising.

I have visited all but one, several times, and a write-up is in the works …

… eventually.
