Sporting Events
So on Friday night, we went to a minor league hockey game. Hockey? What’s that you say? Yes, the hockey has ceased to exist for the most part this season, and it’s not that I’m a huge fan or anything, but I do enjoy going to the games. This game was for our hometown Admirals.…

What hurricane?
I had plans to go see the VT-Duke this past weekend, but I totally bailed when Ivan came up from the Gulf of Mexico and took dead aim at southwestern Virginia. So what happened then? A beautifully sunny day in Blacksburg, of course. Well, to be fair, the drive over on Friday evening might have…

Living Like Kings
So last weekend we went to Kings Dominion – my first time there in several years. There were alot of new rides since my last visit, and many shady characters threatened to derail our fun time, but overall, we had a very enjoyable experience. Here are the rides that were “new” to me (all of…

For the Fun of It
This past weekend, a monumental moment occurred in Monica’s life. She played putt-putt golf for the very first time. I can hear the collective “Whaaaa?” as you read this. Yes, it is possible for someone to get past the age of ten and not have played putt-putt golf. How does this happen? How can someone’s…

Snowy Nativity Nutcracker
Ah, what a relaxing weekend. We slept ALOT Saturday and Sunday. Didn’t really plan on it; it just sort of happened. We had caught up on some errands already so we didn’t have a whole lot to do outside of the house. On Friday evening, we tested our acting skills by playing Mary and Joseph…

Hot Tubbin’ in the Burg
This past weekend was Fall Alumni Weekend for the fraternity, and we had a blast. Went down early on Thursday night, then got up Friday morning to check out the downtown area and eat some lunch at one of the old hangouts. It’s really changed since I graduated. The highlight of the afternoon was seeing…

Weekend with Mom
It’s hard to believe that Monday is here again. This weekend, my mom, Julia, came to visit from NY, and it was great to have her around for a couple of days. We love to chat, shop, gossip and munch on some really good Puerto Rican food together. Brian likes my mom’s visits because she…

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…

Weekend Recap
Ok, so the gallery is fixed now. Seems I floogled something during the upgrade process and not everything was copied over correctly. Thanks to the folks over on the discussion forums at the gallery for helping me debug the problem. Oh, and I just made up the word “floogled”. I added a wedding day countdown…
