Sunday morning coffee, Moondog Cafe, Chester, Vt. Maria and I walked around Chester, one of those beautiful, well preserved and community-centered Vermont towns. Vermont has managed to avoid a lot of disconnection and fragmentation that seems to be hitting a lot of the rest of the country. Community strong – small businesses, coffee shops, cafes. We walked through Chester before the reading at the Misty Valley Bookshop, which drew an SRO crowd.
