We Had Dinner with Martha and George Washington
It was shepherds pie and bangers and mash at the DOG (Duke of Gloucester) Street Tavern.
We ran into St. Nick along the cobblestone streets and thanked him for spreading Christmas spirit.
The British are coming! And we made friends with them.
We were in town for the cause of poetry.
I hung out with these guys for a Poetry Society of Virginia Christmas poetry program with Jack Callan and Judith Stevens. It was an honor, with dynamic performances, an appreciative audience, a country club lunch and an open mic. More to come on all of this when I’m not in a hotel room winging it in an uphill battle with a funky laptop.
Thanks to Joe who got me here and who video taped the poetry readings. Now we are on a Christmas lights vacation.

Is that the Judith Stevens who was on staff at A.R.E. in Virginia beach?

Well, that open mic clip was perhaps one of the nicest Xmas gifts I’ll get this year. Thanks, CR.

Congratulations on being part of the program. A Christmas lights vacation sounds like fun (I could do that part of your trip;).
