Before coming to the office to (A) finish some work for a client and (B) post on this blog, I did the usual weekend drill and cut the grass, weeded the flower beds and vacuumed the house. The house was built in 1917 and was in very bad shape when we bought it and we - mostly Raymond, who is a natural talent - have restored it back to a semblance of its original condition, except for a modern kitchen.
I will confess that I got a slow start (and did not make it to church), having been to a birthday party yesterday evening and then going to The Wave to dance - both for exercise and to sweat off the alcohol consumed at the birthday party (a 2006 photo of the club is posted above). One thing I always take pleasure in seeing is the large number of confident young gay and lesbian couples out dancing and having fun. When I was their age, there were few gay bars and very few, if any young gays would go out as couples. It gives me hope for the younger generation that will not know what it was like in the bad old days.

Gay couples feel at ease in Virginia?? Really?? I'm totally surprised. Maybe the world really is coming on!
In some parts of Virginia. Northern Virginia near Washington, D.C., is the most liberal, with pockets in the other larger cities. In this part of the state - southeast Virginia - Norfolk is by far the most liberal. In rural parts of the state, it is still somewhat scary. Definitely, "Deliverance" country.
And stay out of Lynchburg!!!!! Dear Lord...even with Jerry gone.
