He was born and raised in St. Mary’s County, and his family traces their beginnings back to the first settlers in Southern Maryland.

Babies are there with you the entire time and entertained with whatever it takes to help you get in your workout for the day.
Q: What do I need to bring?
A: Your stroller, your little(s), a yoga mat for core work, water for you and your baby, a towel if you get sweaty. Sunscreen, bug spray, and hats are also recommended.
Q: What should I wear? What should my baby wear?
A: Dress in athletic attire and running shoes. Also dress for the weather and in layers that you can remove as the workout progresses. Please also dress your baby for the weather – blankets, hats, etc.
Q: Do I need a jogging stroller?
A: Jogging strollers are not required. Most walking, jogging, or running will be on sidewalks or roads. Make sure your stroller is sturdy and also has a working brake as strollers will be parked at stations.

A: Try to arrive a few minutes before class begins to give you time to set up your stroller and get your baby settled. Warm-up will begin right at 9:30am.
Q: Can my child get out of the stroller and walk with me?
A: For safety reasons, all babies and children must be buckled into their strollers from warm-up to cool down. This also allows YOU to focus on your workout.

Make your own piece of kintsugi pottery art from up-cycled tea cups!
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with special lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
For this program, there will be a brief presentation about the art of kintsugi, then participants will receive a broken tea cup that they can repair.

Peg & Rose Solve a Murder (2022) by Laurien Berenson (Senior Sleuths Mysteries #1)
The first in the Senior Sleuths Series features two cantankerous septuagenarians, sisters-in-law and opposites in every way, who are forced to put aside their differences to stop a killer… if they don’t throttle each other first!
Rose Donovan looks for the good in everyone, but even this sixty-something former nun has her limits and gruff Peg Turnbull sure knows how to push them. But after forty years of bickering, they’re attempting to start over, partnering up to join the local bridge club. They barely have a chance to celebrate their first win before another player is found dead in his home. As the newest members, the sisters-in-law come under scrutiny and decide to start some digging of their own. Bridge is typically seen as a wholesome pastime, yet this group of senior citizens harbors a wealth of vices, including gambling, cheating, and adultery. As their suspect list narrows, they’re unaware that their logic has a dangerous flaw. And they’ll have to hope that their teamwork holds steady when confronted by a killer who’s through with playing games.
