First Snow

I am a child - I skip and giggle every year upon first snow. And right now I am in a beautiful place, watching the big white puffs lazily float down to tickle the ferns before landing in the out-of-season courtyard.

Ah! Beautiful.

E Pluribus Unum

For the first time in my life, I can honestly say that I am proud to be an American!!






More tomorrow!!

NFL Week Nine

What a week! Welcome to November, and hello from Northern Virginia. I'm home visiting Mom and Dad this weekend, which I must say is very nice: Not only am I with my family, but I ate Chipotle, cuddled with Cookie, and I even saw an old friend!
