As Dorothy once said, "there's no place like home." Life is good here in VA these days. Had a bit of a wild ride this summer, but things are smoothing over now.
Did you have high winds and pouring rain last weekend where you live? We sure did! The only difference is that I was camping with a group of nine 11-year-old cub scouts during that weather. Despite the conditions, a good time was had by all. Friday was Theodore Roosevelt's birthday. Teddy would have loved camping in that weather. He seemed to get a kick out of overcoming obstacles. That's one of the things I admire about that man. As Teddy would have said, "it was bully!"
Well, if I don't post again before election day, let me urge you, gentle reader, to VOTE next Tuesday! (unless you plan on voting for the Dems).

Random Thoughts
Life is beginning to return to normal (if anything can be described as normal anymore).
I returned from Colorado Springs on Wednesday night. My project there is winding down.
The Feast was simply wonderful. Too short -- I didn't like having to leave early to fly to Colorado, but I'm really glad I was able to spend some time at Fairwood. Next time I must make it a longer stay! The highlight was Andrea's testimony Sunday morning (report about the meeting at her house on Saturday night).
So... life goes on. Tomorrow morning I head to the campground for an overnight campout with the Cub Scouts of Pack 21. Should be a fun adventure, especially if it stops raining.
My daughter turned 16 this week. One of us is getting old. We had a fun family celebration at Olive Garden, followed by chocolate cheesecake at home.
I can't seem to find time to keep this blog up-to-date. Should I retire it?
