  • Travel Cancelled

    By Andrea Menzies

    I had to do a temporary cancel on travel by Amtrak train and car pooling to see concerts as an Icy Death Snow Blast slammed Virginia a second week. If you can’t drive the roads or take trains well it is what it is, and you just have to deal with it. It strengthens my resolve to ride bikes more in Spring as stormy ice from excessive use of gas cars is blamed by scientists as a major cause of global warming by this good article “Why We Still Have Brutal Cold Snaps” by CNN. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/15/climate/why-extreme-cold-during-global-warming/index.html

  • Music Travel

    By Andrea Menzies

    I saw many great shows in DC, Norfolk, and Fredericksburg before the pandemic. I even saw Depeche Mode rock the stadium in DC. Thankfully many shows are at last returning to the areas around north Virginia and DC, and I plan to begin checking out shows again. As a single lady with no boyfriend or husband I have to increase my social area to meet people and date. Message me if you’re interested in car pooling.

  • Top Teacher Photos of the Month

    By Andrea Menzies

    Here are my Top 10 Teacher Photos Of The Month. I have included a filter free photo of myself. I am still employed as a teacher, and I love how it uses my fully complete University degree from Loyola University New Orleans to help students daily. Heaven knows the huge amounts I owe in student loans verifies how long I have been to school.

  • Anti Prejudice Post

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am against prejudice in all its forms including racism, sexism, and religious persecution. The troubles in the middle east in the news have made saying this clearly more necessary lately. I had an ex boyfriend who became a narrow minded bigot, and many people falsely thought I agreed with him. It is very narrow minded and sexist to think all women share the politics of their worst ex boyfriend. Religious discrimination is the systematic mistreatment due to religious beliefs of people, and should NOT be tolerated in moderation times.

  • Week Of Trolls

    By Andrea Menzies

    This week I got particularly attacked by Internet troll gossip when mentioning I was single. Prejudice against women is very much alive if you are not a female clone of a Leave It To Beaver or Brady Bunch episode.

  • Happy New Year’s Eve To All

    By Andrea Menzies

    Happy New Year’s Eve To All! Here are some bike meet up park lunch photos for New Year’s Eve! Downtown in this area has been way too wild and violent for night events lately. I am just doing lunchtime meetings and BBQ for a while on weekends.

  • Happy Trails

    Happy Trails

    By Andrea Menzies

    My daughter Alexandria is visiting my aunt Jeannie in San Jose, California for part of Christmas Break. So far freezing airports didn’t block her in for travel, and she sent me an airport photo. Some weeks I am proud of being a single mother even if it is really expensive.

  • Family Thanks

    Family Thanks

    Thanks to my family Anne and Alexandria and my park bike club friends for many great gifts at this year’s frequent Christmas Holiday parties in Virginia.

  • No Calls

    The worst flu of the year came back. I had to battle nurses and insurance companies to get care today, and I am taking no calls as I try to heal up.

  • Park Day

    Thanks to the park fitness club for not being mad at me today after I was late. I was sick, but felt better by later in the day. I was feeling better, but got bad symptoms again that night. This flu season no one smells like roses.
