The Garden Wall
"Old garden walls have spirit, inner beauty of a kind,
Rich and ripe with years gone by, like a fine aged wine.
Let's replant the gardens with blooms of vibrant flowers.
A sanctuary of harmony to share our idle hours."

A Moment of Reflection
A bench located next to the laundry building. One has to wonder who over the years sat upon this bench to take a moment to survey the surrounds or stopped for a conversation.

Too Many Trees
Looking from the rear grounds of Chatham across to Fredericksburg. At the time of the Civil War you would see few trees in this shot. And no those dam Yankees did not cut them all down. Most of the forested areas were cut down for farming, and to support local industry and construction. We actually have more trees today than we did 150 years ago.

Wednesday Nights in the Burg
The field of honor. The dart board at the Blarney Stone in downtown Fredericksburg. Most Wednesday night at about 8:00pm I stand beside the banners of the famed Irish Brigade, 7'9 1/4" from the board with the bulls eye set at 5"8" from the floor and work my magic. If your in the area stop by and we will see if you've got what it takes. Only one House Rule--No Chardonnay sipping allowed.

"The Asymmetry of Women's and Men's Alignment is epitomized in the Positions They Take." What the Hell Does That Mean?

And Russ Smith here is the guy to answer that question. From Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars, to Debrorah Tannen's latest work, You Just Don't Understand (from where I took the quote above), Russ has read them all. You see Russ is a sensitive guy. And he has been tasked to bring out my sensitive side. And as Russ would tell you in his sensitive, caring, and non-confrontational way--I'm a work in progress.

Manliness vs. Sensitivity
The sensitive guy may score with the ladies but they can't score on this board. (Author's Note: My wife does not view this blog).

“Happiness, the grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meanderings, but leads none of us by the same route.”

Charles Colton

Today we are going off the reservation so to speak and cross the boundary of the present. I spent the morning going through 5 years of photo files. What follow are some photos taken at different times, some outside Virginia, and some taken by different people. There was no rhyme or reason in there selection.

Bullets, Booze, and Bones
Something you don't see everyday. These artifacts were discovered during an archaeological dig in downtown Frederickburg. Today a new Marriot Hotel sits on this site.
