The day after I ran a 10 miles race in Lynchburg and seriously fucked up my hip.
I can barely stand in this picture.

This was my first Scouting experience as a parent. I hadn’t been involved at all since I received my Eagle Scout in 1989. Now I had a son who was interested and it was not only in a different state (Georgia versus genteel Virginia), but it’s a different era.
At this Scouting experience there was a lot of singing and clapping and praising of Lord Jesus, as well as a multitude of the parents who were either tattooed or vaping. While praising Jesus.
Further, there was absolutely no shade anywhere and the thermometer was reading 98 degrees Fahrenheit.
I almost threw in the towel right then and there.
That would be the last Scout campout I’d attend without booze…

The t-shirts I designed and commissioned based upon our 1989 Dorm Olympics t-shirts and a quote from Marine Major Lloyd Williams, for whom our dormitory was named.

I’m wearing a replica Tim Brown jersey. Great player.

“I have a framed copy of this awesome giant mural that my parents bought for me on a trip to DC 40 or so years ago. I gave it to my nephew, who proudly hangs it in his home.”

“The Veteran In A New Field”
From FB:
“Painted soon after General Robert E. Lee’s surrender on April 9, 1865, and President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination five days later, Homer’s canvas depicts an emblematic farmer, revealed to be a Union veteran as well by his discarded jacket and canteen at the lower right. His old-fashioned scythe evokes the Grim Reaper, recalling the war’s harvest of death and expressing grief at Lincoln’s murder. A redemptive feature is the bountiful wheat. Referring to death and life, Homer’s iconic composition offers a powerful meditation on America’s sacrifices and its potential for recovery.”
