This was the sixth hike overall on a quest to hike the entire Virginia portion of the Appalachian Trail. Why then do we call it Hike 3.5? It's complicated, but trust me that it makes sense. Having completed Shenandoah National Park, we now have a 54 mile portion of AT in Virginia that is north of SNP leading to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia to complete and we have so far taken two day hikes to begin working on those miles. Yesterday's hike was one of those. This fall we'll continue southbound, entering central Virginia and going on a multi-day backpaking hike along the AT as it parallels the Blue Ridge Parkway.

I'm a bit slow it getting this posted, but I'm glad to have it join my gallery of Father-Daughter Dance photos. The theme this year was 'New York Glamour' and it was my 15th Father Daughter Dance over the last 15 years, and I hope that it wasn't yet my last.

Repainted and rewoven. Far from perfect, but good enough for this rookie craftsman.

This just went rolling by my commuter bus on our way up 14th Street this morning. Getting back in the race? On it's way to be re-decorated? Or maybe just going to take back his Gingrich endorsement!

Here's one from the correspondence files from many years ago. A friend worked at the Martin Luther King Federal Holiday Commission, and volunteers were needed for an event they held in DC. So I helped out, mostly to be able to hang out with a buddy. But I still got thanked by Mrs. King for the very very tiny part that I played in helping make today a holiday.  And I remember this tagline, "It's a day ON, not a day off!"  I need to work on living up to that.

Not satisfied with the natural hair color provided by their parent's boring old gene pool, the Casey girls decided to jazz things up a bit.  Their parent's hair color is also changing, almost as quickly, but naturally.
