My friend Richard Leest, who I've known so long that I'm not sure if we met in first, second, or third grade, still lives on Long Island with his gorgeous wife Jessica and their adorable little boy Ethan. We keep in touch through Facebook, because we are part of a tight-knit group of friends from "back home" and because Ethan has a seizure disorder that we all want to help support research for and raise awareness of as much as possible.
The Leests are on a vacation at the Montauk Manor. When I googled it, this is what I read:
Once a regal Tudor revival hotel built in 1926, this upscale condo hotel is 6 minutes' walk from Montauk train station. It's 1.5 miles from Highway 27 and Ocean Beach and 6.6 miles from the Montauk Point Lighthouse.
Condos come as studios or as 1- to 3-bedroom units, and have kitchens and free WiFi. Several units have ocean views or outdoor decks/balconies.There's an Italian restaurant with a terrace. Other amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, as well as a hot tub, sauna and exercise room. A day spa, tennis courts and golf driving range are also available. A 2- or 3-night minimum stay might be required in summer.
I thought that was awesome, because the Leests don't (yet) have an EV but they are noticing charging stations. All of the EV stuff I post is making a difference and getting some folks to notice things they would not have otherwise. And that's what it's all about. There have been other conversations generated from this blog, in my Facebook links to the posts. For example, my friend Jimmy (also from "back home" although we are both now in Florida) and I have discussed home solar installations, and many other folks have jumped in. I think we've all learned a lot from each other and I'm confident we will be seeing a lot of changes to come in the way we interact with power in the lives of our families.
Exciting times, indeed.
