We are.

I met Steven Wright years ago while working at the Star Market in Saugus. Actually I said "hey Steven!" and he mumbled something and kept on walking. Always in character in guess.

You mean Steve Carell and John Krasinski. I usually associate Steve Carell more with Marshfield since he still has a summer home there.

I think people here have a good sense of wit.

Who knew Newton bred so many stars. I guess you need a good imagination to make it through life in Newton.
