But now, I am back home, back to the grindstone, and feeling every ache from every stupid thing I ever did as a young man! ~ Michael S. Pauley
Sorry for having missed a few days. I have been getting ready to go to Richmond, on the road to Richmond, in the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, and on the road home. I drove up Wednesday, reviewed the case and put final touches on the argument, crashed, went to Court, did my bit and drove home. From where I live, it is a 7 hour drive each way, made longer and more frustrating by all the road work. Being in the car for over 14 hours in two days tells on these old bones. And again, I was in this wonderful, historic city and did not have time to see any of it, save for the hotel and the Court. One day I must go just to be a tourist. There are monuments and memorials that I would love to visit. Museums always draw me and Richmond has several that should be fun and interesting. I know my wife wants to visit the Poe museum and I passed a sign on the interstate for a 'Country Doctor Museum'. That could be fascinating! So many places in Virginia are featured in the book, including the James River. I have not had much time to re-visit these places in recent years and would love to have the time to do so. I planned in my head a tour for myself to include the USS Wisconsin, the USS North Carolina, and Patriot's Point in South Carolina. We took the kids when they were younger and we all had a great time. Need to go again.
