Before I head out for the weekend...

...I'd like to invite everybody in the DC area to Glen Echo Park, just over the District line in Maryland, for the annual Washington Folk Festival, as it makes its triumphant return to the Park, after a hiatus of a few years due to construction. My son Paul will be on the sound crew, and since I'm editor of the program guide, my job's more or less done, so I get to walk across the Park and back looking busier than I really am. Not a bad life.
