"When everything else has gone from my brain ... what will be left, I believe, is topology: the dreaming memory of land as it lay this way and that." Annie Dillard

Georgetown Gazetteer
Tomorrow, my humanities class moves from online to in-person, so I'll drive to Georgetown again, as I was doing last fall. I'm looking forward to meeting classmates in person, though of course there will be the nervousness of any new venture. I took a trial run of sorts on Friday when I visited campus for a required Covid test. That was accomplished in minutes, which left plenty of time for a stroll around campus and through the neighborhood.Flurries were flying as I walked the brick sidewalks and dreamed myself into the Federal townhouses. There was the buff pink with dark green shutters, a stately corner manse, a teal-shuttered beauty with the view of Georgetown Visitation. It's a tough choice ... but I'll take one of those mansions on Prospect, one with a river view, please.
