Wednesday, October 28th, 2009Yeah, that’s right. My mom can kick some serious butt! This weekend, my 57 year old mother checked off another item on her bucket list when she entered in a powerlifting meet at Flex Gym in Virginia Beach. And…….she placed both 1st place in the Bench Press division, and the deadlift division for her class. [...]
A Fresh Batch!
Monday, May 18th, 2009So, we went up to the farm in Charlottesville this weekend to build a handrailing on the porch steps for my grandparents and we happened across this! A fresh batch of kittens. There apears to be 4 or 5, but I cannot be certain. There are definitely 3 though. Any takers? I think that they [...]
From the Vault #1
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009While going through my grandparents’ barn this past weekend I came across a box of old slides. This was one of the pictures I found. It was the summer of 1985. My grandfather and I were on one of our legendary camping trips to Dalton Pond in Northern Virginia. That summer we built everything that [...]
Andrew Bird – The National – Richmond, VA
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009Last night I took my sister to see Andrew Bird in concert up in Richmond. I have been wanting to see this guy live for so many years. We got there a little early and were fortunate enough to find a spot right in the front….Callie had her elbows resting on the stage. The show [...]
Mammoth Cave, Kentucky 1940
Friday, January 30th, 2009When I was up in Charlottesville a few weeks ago, we found a huge trunk filled with old family photos. While rummaging around I found this picture of my grandfather. On the back it says “9AM 6-25-40″. There were tons of these in there from different days and with different people. I asked him about [...]
Wii-diculous
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009Christy and I finally got our long awaited Nintendo Wii this weekend (or should I say wiikend). So far we’ve only purchased a few games (No More Heroes, Mario Kart and of course the Wii sports that come with the game console), but I am slowly feeling myself falling into my old gaming habits. When [...]
Cosplayers 2008: A Book
Friday, January 9th, 2009Holy crap…my sister, Shelby, is on the cover of a book! She’s crazy about Anime, Jrock, and Cosplaying….and this just proves it! Here’s the link!
Barnyard Mayhem
Thursday, January 8th, 2009Over the years my grandfather has collected a ton of stuff. And when I say a ton of stuff, I mean a metric ass ton. For those of you that don’t know, that is way bigger than a normal ton. Most of the stuff that he has collected in his 90 years of life so [...]
The Switch Ups from Long Beach, CA
Friday, January 2nd, 2009Yesterday we went up to my grandparents’ for New Years and the family’s huge Christmas get together (there were 17 of us there). My cousin Orion was there from California…I hadn’t seen him in several years. I got to talking to him and I found out he had a few bands going on. When I [...]
Meet Pearly
Monday, December 22nd, 2008This weekend while Christy and I made our quick visit to Charlottesville, we stopped in to visit with my grandparents on their farm. The next morning we got up and I showed Christy where I found MJ (my new kitten) and off in the distance was the mama cat (my grandmother has named her Pearly). [...]
