Mauve and Mush: We Read Reston: The Magazine So You Don't Have To

Hey, maybe we have some fans over at Issac Newton Square Sunrise Valley Drive, as the cover of the newest issue of Reston: The Magazine is just slathered with mauve. Sweet!

When the uniformed federal agent delivered this fabulous document to Restonian World Headquarters a day or so ago, we were a bit confused by the largest word on the cover -- or "display type," as those of us in the biz don't say. Mush? Was this a teaser about a new color palette approved by the DRB? Actually, no, it referred to a pretty interesting story about a Reston woman and her dog stone cold going to Alaska to run the Iditarod or something, but we still can't get the image of gruel-colored window sashes out of our head.

So what else is in this encyclopedic take on what's doin' around town? A fascinating Q&A with Andy Sigle, our favorite host of RA's fancy YouTube videos, some more Iroquois wisdom from RA President Kathleen Driscoll McKee, and the usual schedules and whatnot. But that's not what we were really looking for.

With trembling fingers, we flipped to the back of the magazine, where sure enough, we found the Covenants Word Find! Only most of the words this time around were winter-themed, as opposed to being about various window replacement requirements. Bummer. That didn't stop us from trying to fill it out, though.

Sadly, we couldn't find the word "mauve."
