The Year in Review
Today I sat down to write our family's annual Christmas letter, the one that goes out with our cards to friends and family this time of year. On a whim, I pulled up last year's missive and read through it with a mix of emotions. Some of it seemed so long ago even while I realized that I'd written it less than three months before the "normal" world I described in it would be altered forever by the worldwide pandemic. How casually I mentioned going to plays and concerts; visiting friends and welcoming others into our home; celebrating holidays, birthdays and weddings; traveling near and far.

Road Tripping
Road trips are woven deeply into the fabric of the American experience as this big, open country and the independent spirit of her citizens lend themselves to striking out to explore all the varied landscapes and cities from sea to shining sea. One could say that grand tradition could be traced back to the westward expansion of the country, and that those pioneers in their covered wagons on the Oregon Trail provided a road map (excuse the pun) for all the modern-day road trippers to come.
