I now have a companion sentence to go along with my well-remembered-in-paraphase quote from the Boston Globe’s circa 1990 feature on the sights of New England. The Globe’s description of Connecticut amounted to one sentence: “It’s a nice state to drive through.” (This was before the Indian casinos turned Connecticut into a nice state to drive through and lose your shirt in.) My new companion sentence comes from The Late Show With Conan O’Brien,. They listed potential state quarter slogans and for my home state they settled on “Connecticut: The state the Red Sox have to drive through after losing to the Yankees”. Don’t forget, that’s a nice drive.
