Solstice
New seasons, new beginnings. Warm days, star-filled nights and hope. Beaches beckon, families gather, food grown fresh finds its way to table. Hammocks are hung, porches swept, flags curl in the breeze. The sun rises, memories are made and tucked away. We celebrate our fathers, cherish our friends and honor those passed. We reflect.

You See Art, I See Dinasaurs
Like the Grinch experiencing the goodness of Whoville, my heart grew when I eyed the two children sitting patiently with their father as they viewed the 15th century Adoration of the Magi in Washington’s National Gallery, and I felt a stab of admiration for a dad who introduces his kids to the vast world of art and culture.
