Alexandria, VA (USA)

[did some driver training (stick shift) with Brenna this morning at the high school and on some backroads - she made some great progress! - after dropping her off again, I stopped by the library to update some software on my computer - did a little bit of shopping and then headed over to the Mount Vernon Yacht Club to meet up with Randy and Sharon - Sabrina was supposed to join us, be she bailed (not feeling well) - we took Randy's boat south on the Potomac River to the mouth of Mattawoman Creek (I drove!) - I was the only one who went swimming and waterskiing (!) this afternoon (it was the first time in more than 30 years I've tried that) - I stayed up longer than I ever did before - after the way things turned out, I'm looking forward to next year so I can get another chance to try again - Thanks Randy and Sharon for the great day! - helped clean up the boat and then headed home (2000) - it is fun using the new shortcut to the house from US-1 to Telegraph Road!)]
