I'm in Millbrook today, in my office at Taconic Press, the weekly newspaper group I publish, with eight titles serving Dutchess and Putnam counties.

Now don't get me wrong -- I don't want to steer business away from my home base in Ulster County. But if you're in this part of Dutchess -- or are looking for a day trip -- do yourself a favor and visit Millbrook. What a wonderful little town, with nice people, quaint shops and fine food.

I always look forward to the couple of days a week I spent in Millbrook. Try it, you'll like it.
