Saturday I went to Durham, NC for my first Hokie Road game.
It went well.
i saw this on my lunch break today in the panera bread parking lot.
This past weekend, the lady and I took a trip to that most Holy Of Shrines, the Jefferson Memorial. Enclosed are some pictures.
On Friday we got a new puppy, which brings us up to two humans, two dogs, and a gerbil in our house. The gerbil is a “class pet” — so don’t worry about us getting to be crazy pet people. Two more pics inside.

So me, havoc and RMSzero adventured out into the wild blue south side of Richmond Virginia last night (and technically this morning) to see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. This post is not a review of the movie, this post isn’t even about the movie. It is about the nerds. Specifically Star Wars nerds.
Sixteen pictures follow. Enjoy.
Ok I figured I haven’t written anything recently and maybe I should. So, I am going to show you some ads I made and write about them. Here we go…
My wife and I made our first trip to this American-must-see.
Our travel plans thwarted by forecasted snow in the state park midas and I were planning on visiting, we choose to live out a year’s long dream and celebrate our 2.0 underground.
Under the excellent guidemanship of Luray Caverns tour trainee, Chase, we navigated the tunnels of the several million year old cave with ease -and discovered the true meaning of friendship.
Here is our story in pictures and some words.
Last week Wolf caught an animal. Well “caught” is kind of misleading.
Anyway he put it in a plastic bag and brought it over to my house. Picture inside.
Two new pictures added!
The South rises again as midas and iheartdorks embark on an epic adventure to one of Fredericksburg’s many Confederate cemeteries. Here they meet the famed general Robert E. Lee, or, at least, some Yankee who looks vaguely like him, are impressed by the constume designer for the Civil War reenactors’ fake army, and are altogether creeped out above and beyond what they expected.
As an added bonus, the two intrepid explorers remember to bring their (midas’) camera. Enjoy!

On Saturday, it was ridiculously beautiful out. It was definitely the kind of day when, if you had recently decided to move to a new location, you might decide to take a stroll around that new location so you could get to know it. And if you had a brand new digital camera, you might want to try some outdoor photography on such a day. Since both of these conditions applied to me, I knew exactly what I must do. Outdoor photography in church hill and shockoe bottom. I ended up checking out Chimborazo Park, the Chimborazo Medical Museum, and also the proposed stadium location. Read the rest of this entry »
13 photos from the trip to my desk from my home this Tuesday. One unrelated photo.
