DUBLIN, IRELAND (October 20, 2024) — I got back to Dublin Tuesday on the red-eye from New York after 11 days back in the USA. I was upstate visiting with my three oldest kids, back in New Rochelle for a few days, then out to Notre Dame to see my mom and my youngest kid. Between jet lag and staying up to watch the Yankees in the ALCS there was not a lot of writing going on.
Here are a few highlights from my first time back in the USA since moving to Ireland.
I did get quite a few records under FOIL while I was away so I will be putting that material together over the next few days.
First up is a 10-Part Series on New Rochelle’s many failures around the new Westchester Power contract.

Cheers for now!
If you have not already upgraded to a paid subscription, you can do so here for as low as $5 for a year with a Basic subscription. What are you waiting for?
CLICK: Your Account Portal
Why Upgrade?
Free Accounts are no longer available to new subscribers. Those grandfathered in today who do not upgrade to a paid account by December 31, 2024, will be removed on that day. In the remaining few months, free subscribers will be limited to a weekly email newsletter with links to recommended articles on Talk of the Sound (free), links to articles elsewhere on the web (mostly free but some paywalled content) and the headlines of my Paid and Premium content with a teaser but not the actual articles.
Basic Accounts are just $5 a year with the first month free and include the weekly email newsletter described above, full non-Premium articles, commenting, and access to the archive of non-Premium content.
Premium Accounts are $7 a month or two-months free, with an annual subscription costing $70 instead of $84 — either with the first month free. Premium includes everything and is the best value: all articles in full, the newsletter, commenting, archives, bonus content and more.
I would encourage all Free Account subscribers to upgrade immediately to at least a Basic Account and certainly consider a Premium account, which is the gold standard.
