That's an interesting tidbit. Did he specifically say he wanted to minimize his time in NYC? Did he seem more stressed about it than usual? Just curious.

Like I said, he has traveled to Israel on business, so the general threat of terrorism doesn't bother him much. He also knows I'll take any excuse to travel to Manhattan. So if he takes the trouble to fly to Vermont (to ski) instead of having me come to him, that's unusual. He specifically stated he wanted to spend as little time in cities as possible. He also doesn't have much reason to ski in Vermont since he lives a couple hours away from most of the best places in the Alps.
