Yeah it smells like forest fire, might could be the wind driving smoke from elsewhere here.

Nothing like a morning walk and a bit of light exposure to shake off the morning drag.

Have read a lot about Mormonism, definitely interested in taking a tour before it’s sanctified.

Congrats! Ask a ton of questions of the inspector, it’ll give you a better sense of what’s right, what’s wrong, what to prioritize with fixes and what can wait.

Yeah always had a great time, same with spouse.

They do have a nice gym and some events are very interesting, although I’m slightly older than you.

Faculty dinners were great preparation for mandatory “fun” work dinners.

The same woman has been recently retired at 37 since at least 2017!

RPS offers prep and fast track courses. http://web.richmond.k12.va.us/Programs/FederalPrograms/AdultContinuingEducation/Programs.aspx

Not quite the same, but the Library of Virginia offers classes to earn a high school diploma. https://va.careeronlinehs.org/

Always worth checking Kroger’s on sale meat bins. Once in a while they’ll heavily discount large containers of chicken breasts, great if you have freezer space.

Did not know that! Didn’t have a television until I was 27… has impeded my performance when trivia MCs are very into the Simpsons.

A physics prof at my school had a huge “Up and atom” poster in his office. Puns seem to be the irresistible force all physicists can agree on.

Gorgeous sunrise this morning. “I’m standing by the window, where the light is strong…”

Saw it too from VMFA

David Dunlap, chef/owner Midlothian Chefs Kitchen has a pretty extensive history with great restaurants. https://www.midlothianchefskitchen.com/restaurant

Kevin Liu of Jasper and The Tin Pan is probably the most educated chef in the region! (Naval Academy/MIT)

Have been having some decent luck with the bargain meat bin at Publix and Kroger. Mostly dark meat chicken that’ll be good to braise or throw into a curry. Usually near the expiry, but I’ve generally found that those dates are meaningless for meat that’s typically frozen solid forever. I saw $9.99 bag of Clementines the other day and almost fainted… they’re $5 less at Aldi!!!!!

Such an easy, tasty meal. I do poached or leftover chicken, salt/pepper/lil paprika/lil turmeric/curry powder, raisins, mayo and balsamic vinegar. Sometimes add some nuts if I’m feeling fancy. Always delicious.

Break a leg!
