Going native.
No … this blog has not been hijacked. That is me that you see in the picture. I can now blend seamlessly into my adopted Southern City with this official Roanoke trucker’s cap — a fine Christmas present from one of my Mary Washington College alums.
The next time you see me on the street, you probably won’t even realize it’s your favorite Yankee. It’s like I’m an undercover reporter again!!!
[Update 12/26/22: Yes, the (inevitable, as I see now) Jim Varney comparisons have begun in response to this photo. Sigh. Do what you have to, Vern.]
Fool’s gold!
I finally got to see for myself what “fool’s gold” (pyrite) looks like.
Next year I might just hand these out willy-nilly and tell my friends it’s real gold.
Merry Christmas, All!
I am wishing you and your loved ones a very merry Christmas — and a peaceful, prosperous and joyous New Year!!!

“‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” by Clement Clarke Moore (read by Eric Robert Nolan)
(The actual title for the poem is “A Visit From St. Nicholas.”)
A day to reflect.
I just love this one shot from yesterday’s video of Jefferson Street in the rain. (I just figured out how to export frames from a video.)
Just in case I miss you guys tomorrow …
I wanted to wish a Merry Christmas to each of you.
