Never a Dull Moment

SNOWSTORM!!!???!!!

What ho. Or maybe what "ho ho ho." We're looking at major snows, starting tomorrow, and running right up through Christmas Eve day.

I know, I should be worried about that fundraiser tomorrow night, the press releases, the maybe last-minute trip to WV for work, the family coming into town (probably not now). But (more…)

The Confluence at the end of the New River Expedition 2010.


We waited for the Expedition to reach Roby Greene bridge so the T.V. guys could get some good shots.

Self Portrait from the New River Expedition last year - Day Two - I still looked pretty chipper, don't you think?

Rosie was excited!

YAY EMMA - Doesn't she look stunning!

Ain't it purty?

Poor old Snowball the Subaru sitting next to the new car... with all of its 172,000 miles.

Super cool interior. Oh, and yes, I DO own Ford stock...

I'm pretty sure I was saying a swear word here...

Anne Knight and Sam were ready for the show to start!


Susan and Chris. Goobers forever.

Here's the very end of the New River.

During the New River Expedition the Concerned Citizens of Giles County made us lunch on the River. These folks are incredible. They are fighting a fly ash dump on the River and are absolutely dedicated and focused. Read about their efforts by clicking on the link above.

How about this for a crew! Yay to everyone who made it the 22 miles of the first day!
