I was cleaning up my inbox this morning and realized that I had built up about 21 years of muscle memory working in GMail (was an ardent Eudora fan before that) since 2004. Amazing to me how quickly that span happened.

Thinking of Edith Stein while in The National Gallery of Art today.
Lincoln Memorial and Mall Barriers


We made it to the Lincoln Memorial as well as the Vietnam and Korean War Memorials last night for our first evening here in the D.C. area.
I was particularly struck by the number of barriers and fencing that has been “deployed” all over the National Mall (I’m guessing in preparation for the “parade” on June 14). I’m sad that even getting a glimpse of our White House is buried behind rows of police and security lines like something out of a dystopian future-movie (compared to just a decade ago).
We’re heading off to the Smithsonian Museums and then the Capitol this morning. I’m hoping that I the barriers we’ve erected don’t just strike me as something that we should strive to have no need for in our Nation’s capitol in the very near future, but something we resolve to do in our collective consciousness.

Big props to Del Ray Pizzeria here!

Maple, Black Walnut, and Oak

My ongoing “cultivation” of the bamboo grove on the property (not developed) behind the fence there is going well… it’s been a long process, but there’s definitely been progress!
