Boyle Column By Saul Pett On Snow And A Cold
Saul Pett's New York column blends a homebound mood with a weary humor as a cold keeps kids home, a faux Lady Esther voice presides over a quiet house, and the writer riffs on word counts, gossip, and world news from Managua to Germany with a wry late 1950s sensibility. The piece wades through mundane domestic detail, media parodies, and cultural references, ending with a light jab at counting words toward a 500 word tally.
