HOROSCOPE

This year, you will get
past a restriction,
perhaps one involving
your home or a piece
of property. Don’t get heavy
about change. If single, you
meet people with ease. Date,
but do not formalize any bond
until you are sure. If attached,
the two of you sometimes
don’t even speak to each
other. This is not done out of
DILBERT SCOTT ADAMS JUDGE PARKER FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & MIKE MANLEY malice, but because you feel
well-integrated as a couple.
Avoid a grumpy Capricorn.
ARIES
(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).
You express a readiness to
join in, as whatever others
choose to do is okay with
you. A parent or older person
would like more attention. This
person does their very best to
convey that point. A partner or
dear friend invites you to a fun

Use your imagination and find
a reason to take a drive out

want to see the foliage or go to
a flea market. Getting fresh air,
walking around and relaxing
provides an openness that
allows more sharing.

Tension builds. You could be

CANCER
(JUNE 21-JULY 22).
You could be at the end of your
patience. You want change
but you are unwilling to allow
others to participate in your
choices even though they
might be impacted. A dear

hesitate to take a nap if you’d
like.
VIRGO
(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).
Allow yourself to be freer and
more open when dealing with
a loved one or friend. Consider
your options with greater care

Gruden
tabs McCoy
as his QB
vs. Patriots
Imperiled Redskins coach
favors longtime backup’s
comfort in his system
BY L ES C ARPENTER
After several days of vague com-

ments, secret hints and subter-
fuge, Redskins Coach Jay Gruden
finally walked to an interview lec-
tern at the team’s practice facility
Friday and named a starting quar-
terback for Sunday’s game against
the New England Patriots.
It will be Colt McCoy.
He was probably the quarter-
back Gruden wanted to pick all
along, something he essentially
admitted when he made the an-
nouncement.
“Yeah, I decided a long time
ago. We’re starting Colt, and we’ll
go from there,” he said.
The move is not a surprise.
Gruden has long had a fondness
for the player who has been the
team’s backup for most of the
five-plus years that Gruden has
been Washington’s coach. McCoy
knows Gruden’s offense, under-
stands the way Gruden thinks and
is well liked in the locker room.
Gruden has kept him on the team
because he served as a reliable
backup to Kirk Cousins and later
Alex Smith. JOHN MCDONNELL/THE WASHINGTON POST

Na won the 2011 tournament
for the first of his three tour titles.
He made four long putts on the

43 and 35 feet for the eagles and
23 and 22 feet on the closing
birdies.
Glover shot a 63, also making
an eagle on the 15th.
Cantlay eagled the par-4 15th,
driving the green and holing a
45-footer, in a 64.
“Hit it really well,” Cantlay
said. “Hit a lot of tee balls in play
and far down there, which leaves
you a lot of wedges. . . . That’s
what it takes to play well here. If I
keep driving it well, should have
a lot of opportunities.”
Stuard shot a 65.
“Just feeling comfortable with
my game,” Stuard said. “I wanted
to get off to a good start this fall,
and I feel like I’ve done that.”
Matt Jones was a stroke back
after a 63.
First-round leader Nick Taylor
followed his opening 63 with a 69
to top the group at 10 under.
Mickelson was at 8 under,
following an opening 65 with a

“I didn’t score great. I didn’t
have a very good putting day,”
Mickelson said. “I missed five or

and it took away from what could

Buying New Villages of Savannah in Brandywine, Md.
Adaptable homes ‘offer something for everyone’

BY A UDREY H OFFER
Corliss Davis is a new resident in the

Villages of Savannah in Brandywine, Md.
She moved in just a few weeks ago and has
already hosted a housewarming party for
friends and family.
“I had the help of an awesome friend,
Taledia, who helped me unpack quickly. I
had the movers put the furniture exactly
where I wanted it, so that made getting the
house in order easy,” she said.
Villages of Savannah is a single-family
community spread over roughly 350 acres
in Prince George’s County about 20 miles
southeast of the District. There will be 350
houses when it is complete in about five
years, said Eric Lyman, assistant communi-
ty sales counselor for Mid-Atlantic Builders,
the developer and builder. There are now
about 130 houses — 70 are sold and eight are
on the market. “The builder releases lots —
which are about half-acre — regularly,” he
said.
The three models — Palermo, Capri and
Sorrento — each have many customizable
options. “We’re a semi-custom builder and
offer something for everyone,” Lyman said.
“We try to narrow down what people want
and give everyone a unique home.”
Davis drove by many times and though
she wasn’t really looking to buy a new house,
when she saw the sign for ranch-style
homes, she said, “Let me take a look.”
“Erik was in the sales office and wel-

House of the Week
Gorgeous Georgian, marvelous modern features
BY K ATHY O RTON
Some historic houses don’t

work well for the way people live
today. Though lovely, not many
people have much use for a parlor
these days. Still, these homes re-
main desirable because of their
gorgeous period details. The
trade-off is trying to live a 21st-
century life in a 19th-century
house.
But a few historic homes, such
as this one in Old Town Alexan-
dria, have been updated for to-
day’s living while preserving their
Colonial character.
The circa 1815 Georgian house
was built on land that had been
owned by Col. Robert Townsend
Hooe, a wealthy merchant who
was the first elected mayor of
Alexandria. After he died in 1809,
his heirs sold the lot and building
to Lawrence Hill, a cooper who
had occupied the lot with his
partners since 1811.
From the beginning, it was a
home of wealth and status — not
only because of its location. Water
Street, as Lee Street was known
before it was renamed for Robert
E. Lee in 1874, was the oldest and
most desirable street in Alexan-
