Kittamaqund weather (Saturday): sunny, 90, but not all that humid. No wind on the Great Wicomico, but many thanks to those who invited me to go looking. Camp is good for the soul. I feel in touch with the trees and the water. I am in touch with who I am, who I have been (boy, could she be a drama queen), and who I could be.

Byrd Theatre weather (Sunday): breathtaking. Giant opened The Dominion Film Festival. I could gush about it for ages, but I need to study for a few hours before the D.C. carpool arrives. In short: an amazing saga of the early-mid-20th century America with a good eye for detail.

Today’s weather: 80s, hazy; I think rain is forecast for the drive to D.C. We're going to tour the library at the Natural History Museusm.
