Bob Weingarten is frustrated. He writes:
Yesterday around 9:40 a.m., I called CVS pharmacy. It took them more than 53 minutes to answer.
At about the 45-minute mark I called their customer service (800-746-7287) to complain. They answered within 30 seconds. After I explained the issue, they tried to call the Westport CVS — but could not get through.
They send a note to the store manager, and told me he would answer me within 2 to 4 hours.
Not sure if other readers have had this problem, but I believe they have. When standing in line to pick up a prescription, I always hear calls are “waiting to be answered.”
Friday’s rain was heavy. For most Westporters, it was a minor inconvenience.
For residents of Saugatuck Shores though, it was the usual story: flooding.

Adam’s House is based in Shelton. But the organization — which helps youngsters grieving the loss of a loved one — has a strong local presence.
It was started by Allison Wysota. Her husband Adam died suddenly in 2012, when their 3 boys were in Weston schools.
Adam’s House is launching a “Mistletoes & Margaritas” online shopping fundraiser. It will be live November 30.
Area businesses are invited to join the e-commerce site. Bill Taibe is participating as a sponsor/vendor. He will sell gift certificates, and may do a bartending event with Don Memo.
Clem Butt, who sells wines all over Westport, will do a virtual wine-tasting. Jim VElgot will sell his artwork. Adam’s House volunteers hope many more Westport shops, restaurants, artists and others will offer their goods and services too.

And finally … Esperanza Spalding turns 36 today.
Last spring — as it does every year — the WWC Community Services Committee was finalizing its 2020 grants. When the coronavirus struck they pivoted, awarding funds to 5 community health challenges.
