Redhook!

I'll bet you thought that A., of sidebar fame, has had nothing to do with Explananda in the year we've been group blogging. How wrong you were, jumping to conclusions like that! A. came up with the name for the site - and it's a very good name, even if over half the people who mention or link to it spell it "explanada" (thereby revealing a shocking ignorance of Latin). She also pops up in the comments section to berate me every time I use the word "kudos," and that's help of a sort. Today I am happy to reveal a third contribution, a photograph she took while strolling about Redhook. In fairness to A., I should mention that she sent me the picture a few weeks ago, so technically all three of these contributions ought to count as first-year contributions, for moral as well as tax purposes.

My wife and I are mulling over a possible move to Redhook, if we can find a place that isn't too far from the subway. This charming picture certainly adds to the allure of the neighbourhood. Now peek below the fold.
