Saturday morning I got an early start to the day and drove over to West Virginia for the Walnut Ridge Practical Shooters match. The monthly event is held at the Summit Point Motorsports Park near Charles Town. The half-day match consisted of six s…
Some attorneys distance themselves from clients. You consult with a paralegal. You get answers to your questions from a secretary. You are represented in court by an associate. Where’s that big name lawyer you paid big bucks for? I’ve even heard colleagues BRAGGING how they train clients to deal solely with their staff starting with […]
As we enjoy the day with family and friends, let us not forgot those who have sacrificed to preserve our freedoms.

Hopefully sometime today between the BBQ and the beer you’ll take a second to think about the countless people that died protecting your freedom. We did our remembering this weekend on our feet.
On Saturday, we detoured on our hike back down from the summit of Sharp Top Mountain to visit the crash site of a B-25 that slammed into the mountain on Feb 2, 1943. All five crewman died instantly. Due to the remoteness of the location, a lot of the plane is still there. The plane is barely 1000 feet from the Sharp Top summit trail. In season hundreds of people are passing by with no clue that such a solemn site is so close. That may be for the best. It is not easy to get to, and we don’t need another accident on that mountain.
My photos from the crash site.
On the way home Sunday, we stopped at The National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA. Per capita, Bedford lost more men on D-Day than any other town in America. The D-Day Memorial is a fitting tribute to all who fought and died on that day.

Cicadas!
Trying to have a beer after mowing the lawn means suffering with the droning song of love-sick insects.

Collleen and I stopped by Blue & Gray Brewing on Friday evening while our son was at swim practice. We’d been wanting to get a taste of this year’s Virginia Hefeweizen, but hadn’t found the time to get over to the brewery. For those wondering,…
Worth six minutes out of your weekend festivities…
