Epilogue

[Telemark]

Another overcast Sunday morning...fortunately my spirits are much better than last weekend. Friday night I attended First Friday in Lancaster with Darling Daughter; she is so good for my heart and spirit. We met some of her friends and visited several very Bohemian-looking art studios; great lofts and open spaces which I never knew even existed in Lancaster. It was interesting talking to people half my age about their creativity and approach to their craft.

Yesterday a group of us went to the McLain Scottish Highland Festival in Carlisle. One of our good friends was playing there; he is from NY so whenever he is within reasonable driving distance we try to see him. We discussed organizing a benefit concert for the town of Windham, NY which was hammered by Hurricane Irene. This is where we all attend the Annual Civil War Music Festival.

Also watched a Border Collie demonstration; it is remarkable how these small dogs can instinctively herd a dozen or more sheep to exactly where they want them.

Today the Travellers are playing in Harrisburg for the Dauphin County Historical Society. Hope the rain holds off.

Thoughts of W would come and go, but I realized she would have no interest in any of what I had done or attended. I did text back and forth a few times to the woman I had dinner with on Thursday. Her 2 grown sons are home for a visit this weekend so I gave her plenty of space. Not ready to dive into anything, especially since I am still technically "married".

And - have not heard a peep from W after her e-mail announcement about filing for a D.
