From this office, I can't take the route home that I become accustomed to taking home. I'll have to use the old way: to the west out M Street and Canal Road past Georgetown University, up Foxhall Road to Nebraska Avenue, through Rock Creek Park, through my old stomping grounds in Silver Spring, up Colesville Road past the dam at Burnt Mills where I used to ice skate as a boy and up Route 29 - a road I have traveled for over half a century. So let it be written - so let it be dome!
"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
