  • Busy Weekend Without Music

    When I tell you we had a busy weekend, you assume you will be reading about a ton of musical events. Not this time. We have good friends who live in VA, parents with three kids, ages 13, 10 and 5. We’ve known them since the 13-year-old was 18 months old (they lived […]

  • New Thanksgiving Tradition

    Last year I reported on our first-ever trip to Birmingham, AL, for Thanksgiving with our godson David. It’s now officially a tradition, which is likely to extend at least through next year. Once again, the real parents went north and spent Thanksgiving with Laura and Chris. We repeated the general pattern from last […]

  • Wonderful Weekend

    We’re in NYC for an unusually long stretch. We’re at the halfway point, and it will be hard to top last week, but we won’t stop trying. 🙂 We returned from VA on Tuesday to one night of solitude. Our extravaganza started on Wednesday. Since we had been away, I got back on […]

  • Eddie From Ohio at Innsbrook After Hours

    On Wednesday (June 10th) four of us spent the evening at an outdoor concert at Innsbrook After Hours. The title of this post is totally out of character with my other music posts. I almost always put only the headliner in the title, and cover the opening act(s) after covering the headliner. Eddie […]

  • Wes and Hadar’s Excellent Adventure

    Many more people participated in one or more of the activities I’m about to list. Only Wes and I enjoyed every single one of them, hence the accurate title. 🙂 Wes flew up on Thursday morning and I picked him up at Newark Airport. We headed straight to the city and met Lois […]

  • Happy New Year

    For the past six years (2002-2007) we’ve spent New Year’s Eve in Richmond, VA. There are four couples there who get together each year and cook a very special (and sumptuous) dinner at each others houses (rotates each year), and we hitched our wagon to their tradition back in 2002. Of course, we […]

  • Giving Thanks

    Lois and I are truly thankful every day of our lives. We’ve been blessed in so many ways, we couldn’t accurately count. Near the top of any list of blessings for us, you would find our wonderful godchildren. In 2008, we were extra-blessed, when Laura got married, and moved to NYC with her […]

  • Discovering Fredericksburg

    We’ve been coming to Fredericksburg, VA consistently for 11 years, since we first approached the Digital Creations team (now called Zope Corporation) about a possible investment. Since July 2001, the number (and length) of visits increased dramatically and has remained steady. That’s because since then, we have both been involved more in the […]

  • Kung Fu Panda

    Lois and I had a slightly unusual, but completely lovely weekend. On Friday, our goddaughter and fiance drove a Budget rental truck up from Richmond, VA with a bunch of their stuff. They are moving to NYC after their honeymoon (putting them in NYC in three weeks!). We helped them move their stuff […]

  • Sneaky Wicked Surprise

    Our Richmond friends have had a very busy year, and it’s hardly over. In addition to graduating both of the kids (already reported) they have an upcoming wedding to produce. Immediately after the wedding, the new couple is moving up to NYC (well, immediately after the honeymoon). 😉 That should be enough to […]
