New Milford

But the excitement of Giants fans, of course, are already looking way ahead.

I want to take one more here because Kevin in New Milford has an interesting scenario question for you, Donnie.

Yes.

Kevin?

At the latter, through the springing up of living waters, it was a day to be thankfully remembered.

Having visited the island, we went over to the main, taking meetings in our way, to Oblong, Nine Partners, and New Milford.

In these back settlements we were met with several people who, through the immediate workings of the Spirit of Christ on their minds, were drawn from the vanities of the world to an inward acquaintance with Him.

They were educated in the way of the Presbyterians.

From the advertising media capital of the world, New Milford, Connecticut.

Wherever that is.

This is Mostly Marketing with Matt Wilson.

Well, I...

And now to put a, a personal touch to the story, last month, Nancy and I went down to New Milford, Connecticut, for a Gilmore Girls fan event.

And who's at this event? You know, but Sean Gunn, 'cause of course he played Kirk for all seven seasons of the show, the man of many jobs in Stars Hollow.

And Nancy, uh, you know, uh, uh, had a couple of wonderful conversations with Sean at this event, where he, he did in fact talk about...

Just change the subject, talk about something else.

Let's go to Phil in, um, New Milford.

Phil, how you doing?

Hi, how are you, uh-

Save a tree.

Ah, New Milford, Connecticut.

It's Richard who writes, Hello, Don and Tom.

I'm 57 and I've been saving for retirement for decades.

While he was making shoes during the day, he was teaching himself mathematics at night, then surveying, then law, then astronomy for some reason because why not add astronomical calculations to your resume when you're already a cobbler, surveyor, mathematician, lawyer? The man collected skills like some people collect stamps.

By his mid-twenties, Sherman had moved to New Milford, Connecticut, set up a cobbler's shop, and started moonlighting as a surveyor.

Then he started publishing almanacs, because of course he did, which required astronomical calculations for predicting weather and tides.

These almanacs sold well enough that Sherman made a name for himself as someone who knew things, useful things, practical things, the kind of things that made you valuable in a colonial society that desperately needed people who could measure land and predict when to plant crops.

Mate.

And shout out to Jay Singh and everyone at New Milford Cricket Club, because obviously they do a cracking job there with little to no facilities to work with.

But the pitch, the outfield, sorry, the outfield itself was so difficult to bat on, wasn't it? It was like the jungle.

Honestly, the ball didn't roll anywhere.
