Many moons ago, I started reading blogs and shortly thereafter I started reading them. I became discouraged because I read many writers, far more talented than me and the ease with which they elucidated the very points I wanted to make but so much more elegantly and completely that I just gave up. Gerard of American Digest was one such writer. His facility with prose and his ability to evoke emotion was remarkable. I linked to him once with my nascent blog and he was kind enough to reach out to me and thank me for the link. I literally had zero readers. Just like now. But that was the measure of the man. He took the time to reach out to me and genuinely thank me for the link. The closest I ever had to meeting the man was meeting Morgan in person. Morgan and Gerard were friends. They had an evident mutual respect for their respective works. I never met Gerard, didn't know the man personally but having read his work I had a sense of the man. He's dying now. If

What do you think of wine tastings? I have a friend who lives and works at Twinbrook winery.
If wine isn't your thing - there is the dogfishead brewery tour in Milton (limited to 25 people, so I'd call ahead).
There is a historic Lancaster walking tour.
If she likes trains, I do believe there is an autumn express...departing Saturday at 12:30 and 2pm - an hour and a half, but quaint.
Or go all out ($$$) and stay at the Inn at Monchanin and have brunch Sunday at Krazy Kats.
