"Sorry to disturb you!" Kristin apologizes to the big deer grazing in the gloom of downtown McLean Central Park, eyes glittering green in our flashlight beams. We meander past Kerry's home and send her a GPS-tagged poke as she sits on the runway awaiting her early morning flight to meetings up north. Christmas lights twinkle, with some eye-catching "dripping icicle" effects. There's much mutual thankfulness for the beautiful dawn, the empathetic companionship, the joy of running freely "without effort, analysis, or expectation". Well OK, climbing the hills there's effort!
