A visit with a Virginia Home Boy
"To be a Virginian, either by birth, marriage, adoption, or even on one's mother's side, is an introduction to any state in the Union, a passport to any foreign country, and a benediction from the Almighty God. -- Anymouse
"Because I was born in the South, I'm a Southerner. If I had been born in the North, the West, or the Central Plains, I would be a human being." -- C. Edgerton

About friends
"Pythagoras asks that we not let a friend go lightly, for whatever reason. Instead, we should stay with a friend as long as we can, until we're compelled to abandon him completely against our will. It's a serious thing to toss away money, but to cast aside a person is even more serious. Nothing in human life is more rarely found, nothing more dearly possessed. No loss is more chilling or more dangerous than that of a friend." Marsilio Ficino
Goodbye!
Well, thanks for stopping by. I suppose it's time for you to leave, because, as my good friend Mary H. says, "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here." See you at the movies.
