WILTON, Conn. The joy of a newborn daughter, what to do for the weekend and the upcoming presidential election were some of the things on the minds of people in Wilton when we spoke with them on Thursday afternoon.
Krista Pietrafeso, 31, was beaming with joy as she went for a walk while pushing along her 2-month-old daughter, Ella.
Shes been really good, Pietrafeso said. Weve been getting some sleep. Not that much, but its not expected. We take what we can get.

Were thinking about what were going to do (on Friday), Wall said, planning something for them and their children after practices.
We havent decided yet, McMahon said.
Megan Lane of Redding, who works in Wilton, was thinking about all of the commentary from the recent political conventions. She said she hopes people will be discerning about the information theyre hearing.
We need more thinking and more asking of questions, she said. Its important that people ask questions instead of listening to all of the rhetoric.
Lane added that shes also concerned about womens rights and thinks some women take those rights for granted.
Bruno Gioffre of New Canaan, in town to have dinner with family at Portofinos, said he wonders about what direction the country will take once Election Day passes. He also wants to hear more detailed plans from the candidates about what they are going to do to address issues in the country.
