I've been not only lucky but honoured in my life knowing and having known a wide variance of people - from race, nationality, belief, political & social position, 'status' in life, etc

In a 'mere' 4wks will be waking up along the Washington Channel to my 1st full day of ~2wks in DC ! A trip I had initially semi-planned w/ my father in mind a couple yrs before his passing (as well as future Poland trip), so he'll be w/ me in heart & mind, since not in body

As one w/ extreme & varied food allergies, eating out w/ others *can* be a challenge, but one learns 1) it's not about you, but the company, you can always eat later, 2) to politely decline even insistent hosts, 3) be prepared as some people *will* be offended or "disbelieve"

I'm assuming a couple broke up last night, the apt complex lobby had carefully torn in half couple photos and a crushed box of candy hearts ... 'course, I could be wrong in this assumption, it's early, but...

Still have 2 more weeks vaca ( less one using today for funeral ) that I need to schedule before Sept - any reccommends for multiple dates ? ...no car rentals this year, so I'd either be local or need a ride. Not May either, my 2 weeks in DC are already set then :)

it's been roughly a year since my fathre said he was proud of me for the 1st... and last... time, in his last days before passing a year ago on the 17th - suppose it's about time I take his obituary/funeral pamphlet off my fridge - or maybe in a day or two...
