I recently had a client complain to me that there's just nothing to do in our city. And it's a complaint that I remember hearing a lot when I was a kid. Growing up around here, I think I even made that complaint from time to time because I'm certain I eventually took things for … Continue reading Stuff to Do in Roanoke
This Is 40
In honor of today being my 40th birthday, I thought I'd take a look at some other people and things that are turning the big 4-0.

I Need Suggestions…
As a sort of birthday present to myself and, also, as a means of avoiding a severe anxiety attack from chronic overworking myself, I'm planning a vacation. Now, it's not happening yet.

Question of the Week #216
If a crystal ball would tell you the truth about any one thing you wished to know concerning yourself, life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know? I don't know... I think I'd ascribe to Doc Brown's theory that it's best not to know too much about one's own future. The … Continue reading Question of the Week #216
Another Leap Day
Every four years this day comes along and I keep on crossing my fingers in hopes that this year... this will be the Leap Day when someone finally announces that they're going to reboot Quantum Leap.
