I was surprised by this specific advice. I wasn't expecting to hear something so actionable. I try to live that way. The day does go better when I do several things before looking at my phone.

. It’s supposed to be rolling, so they shouldn’t shut from Marymount all the way to Chain Bridge all at once, but yeah, it’s going to be fun. Wonder what drop off at Jamestown will look like.

Honestly more concerned about those of us who need to cross the chain bridge. There's not much room on Canal for cars AND monks walking.

SERIOUSLY? Something is wrong with you! You'll be fine with a small delay for world PEACE!

SERIOUSLY?!?! What a selfish person you must be and I hope I do not know you.

When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get [drunk], well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets [drunk] next to you
And if I haver, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's haverin' to you

[Chorus]
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand
Miles to fall down at your door

[Verse 2]
When I'm workin', yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's workin' hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home (When I come home), oh, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growin' old with you

[Chorus]
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand
Miles to fall down at your door

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy da da da
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy da da da

[Verse 3]
When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreamin', well, I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
When I go out (When I go out), well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And when I come home (when I come home), yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the man who's comin' home with you

[Chorus]
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand
Miles to fall down at your door

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy da da da
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy da da da
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy da da da
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy da da da

[Chorus]
And I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand
Miles to fall down at your door

You are RIDICULOUS, OP. Namaste.

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me;
Let there be peace on earth the peace that was meant to be.
With God as our presence, family all are we.
Let us walk with each other in perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now.
With every step I take, let this be my solemn vow;
To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally.

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.

My kids schools often send last minute notices, so this is something i would like to do but cannot

you can look for a notice and then turn it off and not scroll.

If only they announced the schedule ahead of time, so people could make alternate arrangements….
If only there were other bridges across the Potomac…..

Wait a minute……

I think you're the person with the problem, making assumptions. As I posted later, the concern was for an appointment at Sibley Hospital. MY concern was that the entire chain bridge would be shut down (it was for a period) and DC had not posted where the route/rolling closures would be. I was trying to plan ahead. I actually did see the monks in Arlington, so again you are making assumptions. Two things can be true. I was majorly inconvenienced for a serious appointment (it took me 90+ minutes for what should have been 20) and I also respect what the monks are doing.

Oh, the irony in this response. You didn’t listen to anything the monk said did you?
