It is amazing how you step into a special place where you have not been for a year and feel somehow like you never left it.

This is a really unusual phenomenon; for the last two years, LEJ and I have driven down from BWI, and we have both remarked that when you turn off Chalk Point Road onto the Getaway driveway, it is exactly like going back through the Looking Glass, or down the rabbit hole, or some such, into a continuum that is unmarred for the passing of a year, and things start up as though there had been no interruption; the passing year is something that happened in dream-time, and this is being back in the Real World. I know some folks would say it is the other way around, but that's my version and I'm sticking to it!! :D
