Yesterday in My Town (The Media Circus)

It started out as a beautiful day in the capitol of the Old Dominion:



Then I saw the helicopters circling overhead:



It was a bonified, bodacious media circus:











All because of this fellow and three of his buddies:



They're gone this morning...CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, ESPN et. al. have packed up their satellite trucks, but they'll return in November. Then it will start all over again.

I may need to go out of town after Thanksgiving...

Wordless Wednesday

Mr. Vick will be just down the street from me tomorrow to answer his indictment on dog-fighting charges. I have my own opinion but it makes me too sick to even talk about it. To be continued...

A Not So Wordless Wednesday

My dear friend Amy lost her dad to cancer last night. This is in memory of her dad and in tribute to Amy and her family...we all are sending them our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.


What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad
