Capital Crescent Trail Beckons Me


There are many bike trails in bike-friendly DC.  Many of them just go around in circles, never really going any place.  The Capital Crescent Trail actually goes from one signature world-class city to another.

The Capital Crescent Trail is scenic, refreshing and popular with cyclists and joggers alike.

Mary Poppins and the Balance in Life

Reflecting

I remember watching Mary Poppins as a young child in the 70's in Singapore with my sister, Pearl.

The story of a magic nanny coming to work a cold banker's unhappy family resonated in my heart back then.  I remember singing "Let's Go Fly a Kite"as I skipped along the Chinatown maze of streets crowded with shops and street vendors with a delicate Asian paper kite in hand.

Fox-5 Live at the Folklife Festival

Running on the Mall often brings me access to great opportunities--especially this time of the year where there is a lot going on.


Had the unique pleasure to watch Fox-5 Holly Morris and videographer David Rysak participate in a hand casting demonstration with Smithsonian's Lora Collins.
