To the Editor:
For each of the past three gorgeous days, I’ve spent an hour or two hobbling along the pathways in my neighborhood, Lake Anne Village. I enjoy interacting with the young. Alas, my paths crossed nary a youngster, morning or afternoon. I decided to call out the alarm:
Hey parents——where are your kids?
On their scooters and bikes plying our 50 miles of trails?
On our lakes rowing or paddling?
On our tennis courts playing singles or doubles?
Playing catch or shooting baskets?
On our courts playing volleyball?
or
At home exercising their thumbs?
From a very concerned citizen
