Lots of my newly commissioned g-parent friends take their grandchildren to Disney; some do it more than once, or twice or thrice. For me nature trumps Mickey. A recent trip down the bike path from Georgetown into Maryland featured nature in the form of deep mud puddles, baby Canada geese, and one very small serpent. To celebrate the acquisition of the garage sale Burleigh, the entire clan biked from the boutiques of Georgetown to the sun warmed rocks of Fletcher Park where we ate Baby Bels, drank apple juice and played soccer. Then we walked along the bank of the caramel colored Potomac River to converse with fisher folk, all of whom were wearing ear buds and listening to IPODS. Not one of them responded to our archetypal inquiry, " Catchin' anything?" Sadly,the world of casual connection seems to be disappearing.
