Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
Temperature is much on our minds these days. The temperatures recently have been "cooler", meaning we are no longer near 80. Daytime highs are in the low 70s with overnight lows just dipping below the 50s this week. It's the middle of October. My northern born and bred seasonal timeline keeps thinking it's September. I...

Aging Hippies to young hipsters. Grandparents and grand children. Masters of Industry and Working Class Heroes. Tens of thousands of people all in one place because they love music. Welcome to the Richmond Folk Festival. I really had no idea what to expect. First, when you say "folk music" I automatically think Peter, Paul and... Continue Reading →
As we continue our intentional exploration of our new home I will, from time to time, offer these special posts. I suddenly realized that we had done a whole bunch of exploring and I was falling behind. Part of the challenge in living in the Richmond area is trying to choose among all the various...

Well, it had to happen eventually. Amidst all the fun and games something bad had to happen. It was inevitable. The weather continues to be beautiful so I decided to get out and explore on Wednesday. I haven't had the bicycle up and running all year for one reason or another. So I inflated the... Continue Reading →
As we continue our intentional exploration of our new home I will, from time to time, offer these special posts. We haven't really had a good exploring adventure for a while.

What a week this has been! First and foremost, we are now a fully employed, Virginia family! Both the Kid and my Lady Wife now have jobs, both full time and with benefits. I can certainly attest that there was much rejoicing. I am slightly less sanguine about her Ladyship noting that now, for the first time... Continue Reading →
I never really got into reviewing local media when I was in WNY because I knew too many of the players and had a long history there myself. It just felt like I was going to be accused of bias one way or the other. If I said nice things about my friends than I... Continue Reading →
As we continue our intentional exploration of our new home I will, from time to time, offer these special posts. So we tried again for a Farmer's Market. There's a big sign saying there's one every Saturday all summer just down the road from us. We saw no other sign of said Farmer's Market and... Continue Reading →
I've been thinking about moving the various items about places we visit and eat to their own posts. Since I am away this week at the Episcopal Youth Event, I thought I could insert the first one here. We have been exploring for a while. So I have a certain backlog of stories to share...
