2023

Springtime finds us often traveling on Fridays to Old Town Alexandria, where Linda has resumed attending art classes. Following up on a trip in March throughout the Carolinas to visit her siblings, we’re planning a visit this fall to Charleston, one of our favorite towns, for our 30th anniversary. In the meantime, volunteer mediation includes my weekly trips to the county courthouse to meet with litigants on the landlord-tenant docket, and always more training, partly toward mediating peace orders. But that still leaves time for yoga classes at the senior center, playing tenor ukulele on “country jam” nights in Laurel Grove, and breaking in a new hammock on the banks of Kingston Creek.
