I am still dealing with an avalanche of apartment moving boxes. So many boxes do little time.

A massive apartment move is going on with my family this weekend. Now my bike is out of the old apartment. In tarot cards the Death card does not mean “literally” death but change. I ironically pulled a death card out on a reading the night before I started the move.


Today was my first day back teaching at Evergreen Elementary. The maps were confusing, but the students were great. 👍

I dropped off Alexandria at school today. She was very happy to be back in Fredericksburg and back in classes.















My brother James Menzies has flown in to live in Virginia. His photo is below with Anne on the left and Alexandria on the right. We are taking him out to dinner tonight. He is a retired Army veteran which served in many tours of duty in the Middle East. Boy does he have interesting ideas to say about the American pull out from Afghanistan this week.

Adventures in camping for me this week in the DC area. Van camping mixed with tents as I dodged the epic rain. All on national s’mores week as luck would have it.
