"I hope at some point in the future later generations will be interested to learn how a happy couple lived their life in these interesting times, then left it with few regrets."

We had a really busy week. Lots of exciting meetings and navigating the city.
 |
| Derek really enjoyed seeing a small portion of the massive art collection in the city. The museums are so impressive. It would take hundreds of hours to see all the pieces. |
 |
| The Elis, the soon-to-be Cooks and the Josephs at the new and very impressive MLK memorial |
We did a monument walk with Ashley and Figuaro and Nancy and Charlie. It was really cold, but I enjoyed seeing the monuments and memorials at night.

Dierks Bentley's new song, "Home":
West, on a plane bound west I see her stretchin’ out below. Land, Blessed Mother Land: the place where I was born. Scars, yeah she’s got her scars; Sometimes it starts to worry me, 'Cause lose, I don’t wanna lose sight of who we are. From the mountains high to the wave-crashed coast; there’s a way to find better days I know
It’s been a long hard ride. Got a ways to go, But this is still the place that we all call home. Free, nothing feels like free. Though it sometimes means we don't get along cause same, no we're not the same, but that’s what makes us strong.Brave, gotta call it brave to chase that dream across the sea. Names, then they signed their names for something they believed. Red,how the blood ran red - we laid our dead in sacred ground. Just think, wonder what they'd think if they could see us now. From the mountains high to the wave-crashed coast; there’s a way to find better days I know. It’s been a long hard ride. Got a ways to go, But this is still the place that we all call home.
