Local newspapers this morning, at least the one in New London, on the front page above the fold, speak of 'only' two proposals for the Norwich portion for any possible development at the "Norwich Hospital" site (we have the tail while Preston has the dog).
More than a little confused by 'only'. I don't know how many is the 'right' number of responses since, to me, it's very much uncharted waters. As an example: my spouse and I are married thirty years later this week. I believe mine was the 'only' proposal of marriage tendered. In this case, "one" was the correct number (and, wrote Harry Nilsson and sang Three Dog Night, 'it's the loneliest number that you'll ever do.')
I'd hope all of us in Norwich, especially the talented volunteers who serve on the Hospital Advisory Board, are looking at quality and not getting disturbed or distracted about quantity.
So often we see everything as a race, or a zero-sum game.
