Tender Mercies

I love the Potomac River. I went running this morning on the Mt. Vernon Trail, past the airport, toward Old Town. It was incredible--a perfect temperature, sunny, blue skies, with autumn clinging on for a few more days. While most leaves had fallen, I ran through patches of gold and red. It was invigorating. I later met some friends for brunch in Old Town--what a great place. I loved driving down the crowded streets.
