A comfortable ride and well worth the destination. We went to a folk concert, Waterman Music to be precise, at Bena General...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/archiew5687/598576Last night I slept for at least two nights make-up sleep. Night before last was an all night event. The night before that was a wee-hours night. I love the night! Why the all nighter? I got involved in updating software and adding software to myu computer and testing it out to se how it went and...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/archiew5687/596551Some of my favorite spots in Norfolk, VA Near Old Dominion University on Monarch Way.

And it was raining steadily. It was...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/archiew5687/575276https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/archiew5687/575275https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/archiew5687/574916This morning's on-line story about Virginia Beach's Mayoral Campaigns tickled me, figuratively of course.
