Just a little announcement:
I’m excited to let you know I have another essay appearing in the current issue of Alexandria Living magazine!
It’s always a thrill to work with the kind folks at the magazine and as an Alexandria, Virginia resident it was especially fun to contribute.
Below is the link to my piece in the online version of Alexandria Living. Check it out, and if you like, please comment on the magazine website in the space just below the essay. We would love to hear your feedback!

Quite an allegory. I bake a lot of bread. All true, just never connected dots. Thanks.
Thanks!

What a wonderful slice of life – or is it bread??
Great story, Stuart.
Thanks!
As requested, I tried to leave a comment on the Alexandria website, but it didn’t take. Hope you don’t mind that I’m leaving it here instead.
We have a family tradition, every Friday night, a braided Challah loaf.
Next Friday, I’ll be slicing the bread and thinking of this story…and wondering about my grandchildren 🙂
I love that tradition! Love challah bread too… thanks for the comment!
Congratulations.
Thanks!
A delight to read this,thanks! Have posted a comment on Alexandria too…
I bake bread. But this piece adds a whole new dimension to what is often in itself an act of love and care. Nice work. If anybody deserves a podcast, that pleasant, insightful lady does.
I am so happy for you! Keep writing. You CAN!
Thanks!
GREAT article! Old Town is one of my very favorite places to go, though I do not get there near often enough. Thanks for sharing this and good luck to you.
Namaste,

Hey homeboy! I was out enjoying the sunshine in Old Town yesterday. I read the article today. It is very well written. I enjoyed it and posted a comment.
Thanks! Old Town and the river make for fun walks and great people watching don’t they!
Lovely story….thank you for so eloquently sharing it!
Nice piece. Congrats!
