Welcome, also, to the Rectory for wine & cheese and a ride through Highland Park to see the best lights.  

Connected with this, a plan is developing to visit the Christmas lights in Highland Park on bikes one evening, a common event in that neighborhood.  We have our guide, Chris Phipps, who lives there, and the old geezer can second, since this is his old neighborhood.  Get your bike lights polished.

4. For those of you who heard, yes, Rosemary fell on her bike Thursday morning (on the path near the corner of East Lawther and Garland Road).  The path was wet and she fell on a curve.  No broken bones, but she hit the back of her helmet.  She is being watched by our internist and me.   She is also sore all over.
