It’s been a long weekend. On Friday, my wife and I drove to Norfolk (that’s a long trip from my neck of the woods), where we attended the Saturday wedding of one of my best friends (Congratulations, Jason).

Funny photo from the Denbigh Day Parade this past Saturday. Guess the Dems have run out of gas:

There was a time when I followed tennis as closely as I follow baseball (and played it several times a week), so going to the US Open tennis tournament has always been something I wanted to do. When my wife and I decided earlier this year that we were going to make a trip [...]

You know, if you can make it there, I’m told that you can make it anywhere.
As I mentioned, we spent some time in New York this week. My wife and I had never been to the Big Apple, and one of my good buddies from law school lives in Manhattan, so we decided to [...]

Steve Minor has this great account of part of his recent trip to Italy, with some excellent photographs.
My wife and I have dreamed of visiting Italy for some time. Perhaps we’ll get the chance by the time we’re as old as Minor.

Felipe Lopez.

As I mentioned yesterday, I spent much of today in Wytheville at the 9th District GOP Convention. It was a good event, nice turnout, lots of good people. Always a fun time meeting up with my fellow Fightin' Ninth Republicans.
Adam Tolbert -- whom I met for the first time today -- has the [...]

I was out of town for the last week and a half at a conference, and without much to do in the evenings, I caught a few ballgames. I thought I'd post a few of the pictures I snapped.
First, at West End Field in Greenville, South Carolina. The Greenville Drive -- managed by [...]

From a devoted reader:
I was in Washington last week and came across this display. I have no idea what the significance of it is and didn't have time to ask some 'official' looking people who were close by since I literally parked my vehicle in the middle of a busy street to jump out [...]

Until the majors and minors begin their seasons, I'm content to enjoy college baseball. I mentioned the other day that I took in an inning or two of a UVa-Wise game this week; today, I saw the second game of Wise's doubleheader with King College. Lots of fun, and UVa-Wise looks to have [...]
