Places I Would Rather Be



Helmsley Castle, on the North York Moors—reminding me of the defiant picnic the four musketeers had on the enemy's battlements in the fun Richard Lester film, and of the poet/television writer in John Cheever's wonderful "The Golden Age" drinking martinis in the castle keep somewhere on the seaside in Italy.
