I’m 6 [years old] and we’re in the middle of the woods,’ and I would sit down and quit. I would revolt,” the New York City-based Fitzgerald said recently while standing in my backyard, having just completed a story-filled walk of our own en route to my favorite tree, which I guess is something you have once you hit a certain age.
