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 year, but there [...]

New Thanksgiving Tradition
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 from Ohio was [...]
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 and two [...]
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 were invited [...]
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 husband. They [...]
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 operational details of [...]
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 in and then [...]
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 keep anyone busy, [...]
Curtains The Musical
Continuing on with our wonderful adventures this past weekend, after dinner at The Palm West on Saturday, we saw Curtains, the musical on Broadway. The main stars are David Hyde Pierce and Debra Monk. We went because our godson was interested in this, we had heard that it was pretty good, but mostly, because we [...]
