I left in 1980 when I went off to school, and haven't really lived there since. We do visit, though. My parents live in Green Mountain. I biked until I got my driver's license when I lived there (like most kids). There were no bike trails, or really safe commutes. I did like biking around the Federal Center when my dad worked there.

Fountain pens – my collecting passion. I write and draw with them, fix them, give them away... they're so much more fun and expressive than ballpoints or even rollerballs. I've been limiting my acquisitions since I've been needing winter cycling gear. I do still browse antique shops (not antique malls!) for good pens looking for a little TLC.
