My attorney got this sweet custom made built in book shelf. I think built in bookshelves are among the coolest features in homes.
So while we’re on the topic of books I have to share a couple great ones I just finished. I loved the FQoTD when I asked for your all time favorite books. I just finished Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey and The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson. My attorney loaned me the Kesey book but I was lucky enough to have received The Girl Who Played With Fire from the publisher. Someone asked if they thought I was selling out if I posted about it. Hell no, because it was an amazing book, I could hardly put it down. It’s a sophisticated mystery. It’s one of those books that you start reading and the next thing you know it is 3am. Very hard to find good ones like this. It is the second in a trilogy, with the first being the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo which I previously recommended.
So has anybody read a great book lately? And of course if you have home improvement photos please email them to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com.

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!
