Monument Hill was the greatest sledding hill ever: a hill perfect in every way for sledding.

I remember the interminable trudges uphill and then the glorious rush of hurtling down. Over and over again. Oh man, I can&#8217;t believe I am getting nostalgic about Rockville, Maryland! (although no ice skating has ever been as much fun as ice skating along the C &amp; O canal next to the Potomac River &#8211; probably the same winter. That was the year roofs caved in and we attempted to dig a tunnel from the house to the street curb.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A book!
