Maymont is a gem in this town and I’m not here nearly enough.
It was a perfect way to kick off the fall season.

2022 Richmond Folk Festival poster
I am smitten with the poster for the Folk Festival this year.
Cassandra Kim‘s fanciful animals are cute and cool. The Richmond Folk Festival posters have, over the years, showcased different styles. 2022’s is a great entry in the series.
I love that it is a proper oil painting (and you can bid on the original).
This time-lapse is nuts. It looks like magic.
Autumn started with a great sunset
Mets in the playoffs?!?
It’s been a little while since I had to care about postseason baseball. It’s exciting.

Lighthouse in the Bay
A great day on a boat. Caught some fish and saw this crazy old lighthouse.
George Jones- “Take Me” from “A Poem is a Naked Person”
I’ve gotten back into Cocaine and Rhinestones and this song popped up:
I haven’t been a huge George Jones fan, but this song hits me just right.
And then the following sunrise

Dropped the youngest to start college. It’ll be fine.
The Beths at The Broadberry 8/23/2022
I still can’t believe a band came all the way from New Zealand to play in a club in Richmond, Va.
Throwback
It was a lot of fun to get out with the old tennis guys last night. We joined a new club this year and I have been spending most of my time playing there. Thursday Night Tennis is still play for a couple of hours and then drink beer and hang for a while, and I’m glad for it, but the Ridgetop game always has bigger beers at the end and I’m moving a step slow this morning.
Now I have to decide if I’m going to play in the heavy heat this weekend.
