"Two days old!" Kerry and Kristin and I are comparing notes on the age at which we first took our kids out to the grocery store with us. We explore new territory, south of the W&OD Trail in Falls Church. Kerry spots small glowing pink lights in the blooming azaleas near the corner of Great Falls St and US-29.

"Sunflowers and Oms" says the sign for a yoga studio. A legendary toy store features big stuffed animals in the front window, next door to a fine restaurant. Kristin points out curvy architectural decorations on buildings beside Route 7, and a setting moon opposite the rising sun.

"Recognize the Opportunity!" is a candidate mantra suggestion by Kerry. We divert to check the track at Marshall High School, but the fence is still chained shut. A possum lurks near the bushes in front of the building and sticks its tongue out at us.
