where I'm going
Fall ( I think--- still too hot!) 2024
High School Reunion - Culpeper, VA
September 2024
Go, Blue Devils, Class of '74! Great to see familiar "old" faces and catch up, then roam around town and see all the new places. Raven's Nest Coffee House was not there when I lived there, and I wish it had been!
Summer 2024
Blue Ridge Mountains
July 2024
The need to not sit at my desk was overwhelming, so took off to Waynesboro, VA, and wandered for a few days. Stayed at Grey Pine Lodge, a lovely remodeled motel from the 60s. It works like an AirBnB with room door codes and no staff present. Recommend. Good food in Waynesboro, hot days, long walks, and stunning sunsets from Skyline drive. Restored.
Chicago
June 2024
Work trip, but Chicago always offers something to do when you walk outside. Free concerts in Millennium Park. Art on the Block. Stayed at the amazing Chicago Athletic Association. Would go again, though I hate O'Hare.
Late Winter - Early Spring 2024
Vegas, Baby!
February 2024
Despite the fact that I told myself I could not to Vegas ever again and consider my life complete, I went to Vegas. Met up with 10 cousins from all over the country and saw U2 in the Sphere!
Now my life is complete.
National Gallery Nights
Spring 2024
Monthly starting March 14, the National Gallery of Art in DC will have party nights at the Gallery. There's a lottery for tickets, so if you're coming, click here.
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
April 2024
Got a baby graduating from the School for Photographic Arts Ottawa (SPAO). Dreams do come true!
September 2022
