Along with Autumn Comes a Kitty
Autumn is really here. The temperature this morning was 49 degrees and the sun was no where to be seen at 6:30 am. As I put on my jacket, grabbed my coffee and opened the front door to leave, I found my friend Johnny blocking my path. Johnny Cash (named by my friend Laura), is…

Autumnal Equinox
It’s the first day of fall! I’m starting to think this is my favorite season. I love the changing colors of the leaves as they turn nice shades of Hokie maroon and orange, and there’s plenty of football to watch while enjoying the crisp autumn nights. It also means this year is flying by. What’s…

Aftermath
So everyone is dealing with the aftermath of Isabel. Alot of people are still without power, but luckily we only lost it for about ten seconds on Thursday night. Thank goodness the Hokie game wasn’t interrupted (but it was for alot of other people). My parents both lost it during the day on Thursday, but…

That doesn’t sound like a life-threatening storm at all…more like a chef at a snooty restaurant who has a big nose and loves to shout, “Sacre bleu!”. I don’t think any hurricanes should have…

Another Day for Infamy
I’m not exactly sure what to put here today, the second anniversary of the most awful of days. I took some pictures from when Monica and I were in New York City for Thanksgiving in 2001. We must never forget 9/11. However painful it might be, we must relive the horrific images from that day,…

Left Turn, Clyde
When you think of a redneck, one of the things that ultimately pops into your mind is NASCAR. Lots of guys racing around constantly making left turns. Yeah, lots of excitement. So with that mind, we ventured last Friday down to Richmond to see the NASCAR Busch Series Funai 250, and you know what? It…

Feliz Cumpleanos
Here’s a big ol’ Happy Birthday to Monica! 🙂 I had to buy her one of those “For my Wife” birthday cards, which just felt weird. Anywho, she turns 28 today so be sure to wish her a happy birthday.
