Beltsville, MD (USA)

[got up early and drove (I-495 and I-95) to Brother Jim in Beltsville - arrived around 0830 and spent several hours with him, talking, eating, visiting with the other Brothers at the residence - we also took a walk around the property to see the places he lived and worked over the last half century - he is in good health and has been a great friend to me for the last several years - I left his place around 1130 and drove east (via US-1) to get gas and then MD-201 back to I-495 - drove down to US-50 and over to Annapolis - then went north to Crownsville to see Chris - met him (again) at his boat on the river - spent several hours hanging out with him and his daughters - talked about work and my hiking trip - had a nice time - left a little after 1500 and headed back towards my house (US-50, I-495, etc.) - phone calls on the way - stopped off at the high school for about an hour to get some miles in (walking) on the track - relaxed at the house in the evening]
