“Dear PoPville,
Long shot, but were you riding on the Mount Vernon Trail Sunday (11/6) around noon?
You: An outgoing (and cute!) biker who took a water break on a bench near the Navy-Marine Memorial. Late 20s/early 30s man, black shirt, blonde hair, and piercing yet kind blue eyes.
Me: A shy (and glowing*!) runner who was taking some shots / enjoying the view. Similarly aged woman, blue crop top, kinky-curly brown hair, and a rather charming dimpled smile (if I do say so myself).
You initially stopped your ride to offer to take some photos of me, which I instinctively refused. Appearing rather deflated, but definitely still intrigued, you then asked me how my run was going, and remarked on the brilliant weather. After barely mustering a mumble, I *literally* ran away to avert your intensely warm gaze. *cues Enrqiue Iglesias – Escape*
About 10 secs later, I realized I missed the moment. About 10 mins later, I finally worked up the courage and circled back. My move would have been to ask for a photo, and invite you to join it, but you had already disappeared!
Lesson: MEET THE MOMENT! Life is way too damn short to not go for gold.
*Perspiring profusely trying to keep it cool”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
