Brought the soccer team to Lynchburg to play Liberty. Ended in a draw, but team showed a lot of growth over their first four games.
The stadium is nestled in the Blue Ridge and it is a stunning view. Sparky the mascot gave me a fist bump.

Had the honor of curating the exhibit on display through October at the Cardinal House. Last night was the opening. A lot of fun going through the process of poem selection, developing a theme, and making a short presentation to some of the attendees.

Actually, if not local but you are wanting him, I’d be willing to bring him to you.

Rescued this handsome boy. Now he’s looking for a forever home. His name is Little Bit. Neutered male. 2 years old. Very playful and talkative. Likes to lay down beside you. If local to me, and interested, let me know.
Has all his shots and is chipped.

Took the volleyball team to UVA for preseason match. So much fun! Excellent competition. JMU lost 3-1, but all three losses were by only two points. Also, over 600 in attendance at a preseason match! Incredible!

Drove soccer team to pre-season games and ran into friends/parents of a Freshman player. Four former wrestling coaches here to see the soccer game!
Second photo is from the home season opener.
I have several long trips scheduled with the team. Very excited to follow their season.

Cheerleading squad took home the most trophies from the camp held at Temple University. 40+ universities competed/trained.

This is Philly, with the Cheerleading Team.

I forget to add to my Bluesky feed. My bus adventures continue.

I left my most excellent chiropractor because he supported book banning from school libraries (he brought it up during an adjustment)

Makes me wonder who they see as a messianic figure. Also wonder if immigrant cows count as acceptable sacrificial offerings. I mean, a Texan Christian cow used for an Israeli Jewish ceremony seems a bit odd.

Drove the tennis team to Rome, GA to compete in the SBC championship. They won their QF match, but fell to eventual 3x champion ODU in the SF.
Loved watching them compete.

One of my cats. She can be very dramatic and expressive.

DC at night can be magical

Recent trip to Kennedy Center driving musicians from JMU to see the NSO.

Some trips don’t go as planned.
Hope to rejoin the team by Saturday.

Because my friends suggested I HAD to eat there, I went to Katz’s Deli on my last day in NYC, and ordered a Pastrami Reuben.
I had to wait over an hour to get to the counter to order the sandwich, and let me tell you: it did not disappoint! Absolutely the best pastrami reuben I’ve ever eaten.

NYC as seen from the 80th floor of Empire State Building.

The final pick up and drop off of the group. NYC was fun to visit, but not to drive through. Not a n a hurry to go back, but sure I’ll get assigned again next school year.

Another intriguing piece of art at MoMA

Probably my favorite piece at MoMA

Some of Day 1 sights in NYC

Some of my street sights in NYC

Communist sympathizer… under his leadership, and others of his mindset, we will be Russian satellite states

Elon Musk should be considered a foreign agent who is actively attempting to undermine the U.S. Government.

Loving my new job!
Still training in the motor coach, but should be good to go by February. Otherwise, making airport runs in cars, suvs, and vans for vips.
