Looking forward to a nice jog on Sunday--it is very scenic here in Locust Valley.
On the way and right after crossing the Throg's Neck Bridge, Surenna kept asking why they call it Long Island, when it is a penninsula. She wasn't happy with the response, "They call it Long Island because it is an island".

They never teach the kids anything in history class anymore.
