After entering D.C.’s National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) to view the “Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power” exhibition, I encountered Lady Gaga’s childhood piano (1966)—the same piano that enabled her to rock and queer the minds of music lovers around the world. But she did not create this vision of change on her own. It was built by the foremothers of rock: Ma Rainey (1920s blues), Wanda Jackson (1950s rockabilly queen), The Supremes (1960s girl group), Tina Turner and Cher (’60s), Patti Smith (’70s), and Madonna (’80s), to name few. And, some of these trailblazers are still recording and touring today.

You’ve had a crazy week. It’s Friday night, and you’re looking forward to the weekend. You plan to do a little wining and dining. Maybe you’ll do some shopping. And, you might even take a walk where there’s something to see other than steel and concrete. Now, imagine doing all of that without once riding in your car or on the Metro! That, my friends, is winter at the beach. It’s everything you like to do except in a smaller, more intimate beach side setting.

As I write this article, I have an incredible view of the Lewes-Rehoboth canal from the huge outdoor deck at Irish Eyes Restaurant. The sky is a brilliant blue, the sun is sparkling on the water, and lots of boats sit bobbing in their slips. I smile because it looks like a scene from a jigsaw puzzle and I still can’t believe I live here.
