A couple of years ago, I spent a weekend in Columbus, Ohio. I promise this isn't the setup to a smug New Yorker's unimaginative quip ("longest weekend of my life"). Those were a charmed 48 hours. A few things were on my side: I was escaping parental responsibility (our oldest was applying to high school, a fraught time) and the weather was unexpectedly beautiful (70 degrees in late October, disturbing but delicious). I was in town for work, but my work is, if I'm honest, not difficult. Turn up at the public library and talk? That would take but one hour out of a whole weekend. I had time to kill.
