Orange and Blue










Most of Saturday was spent a quarter-mile from my house at the Piankatank Ruritan Club helping my friend Lucy with her daughter's wedding reception. The Ruritan Club holds many memories that date  back to 1980s dances featuring the Beast from the East as DJ back to high school.


The wedding colors were orange and blue.

Orange and blue happen to be the colors of my alma mater, which Son, Daughter and I visited Sunday and Monday.








I told them the story of my very first night on grounds,
which was in 1492 1982.
(A fraternity party was involved.)
















Son and Daughter in front of the Rotunda, which is currently under renovation.















I love Thomas Jefferson.















The Lawn
My friend Iris lived on the Lawn. So did Ricky Stokes.
And Edgar Allen Poe, however briefly.




































From Sunday morning to Monday night, the Chesapeake Bay Family traveled over 360 miles. When you factor in my normal commute and an out-of-town trip for work, by the time Friday evening arrives this week, I will have driven an additional 500 miles.

860 miles in six days.

Although these past several days have been fun filled and action packed, I must reiterate for the record that I am living for my week of vacation in July.

These past few days have been enjoyable, in spite of all my complaining everything.
