It was a bit icy today in NOVA. Work was delayed by 2 hours because of the storm. Schools were closed.
It was really nice to have a slow paced morning. Normally I am out of the hous 45 minutes after waking. I pull into the parking lot of work not knowing how I got there.
This [...]

I got a table at our favorite restaurant Clydes for Valentines day. Normally I am not the Hallmark holidays type, but I hate scrambling at the last minute for gifts.

My wife started a new job about two months ago. She became the music director at our new church. The first couple of weeks, she was really afraid that she was in over her head. Several nights she came home in tears and cried that she was not the right person for the job.
Thankfully, I [...]

Ah, the end of another workday and I can drive home. Or can I? It is weird. Whenever I move (and I haven’t in over 10 years), I go through this stage of feeling like I am on perpetual vacation or business travel. I am in a new place, but it is not home.
