Costco is where it’s at for generic Flonase, Claritin and Claritin D. I was using the generic Claritin D for a while because it’s the most effective, but it was causing my blood pressure to be slightly elevated. My doctor recommended Flonase once a day and add Claritin in when it gets bad. It’s worked for me since last summer so far!

I live right around the corner from that place but still haven’t been… gotta make it a priority to get there one of these days

The back of the Virginia Center Commons mall in Glen Allen has a huge sports complex going in. Lots of crane work coming up and you might see some demolition on the mall side too. Pretty sure most of that mall is coming down in the next several months.

Kathy’s Song by Simon & Garfunkel

The first verse is “I hear the drizzle of the rain, like a memory it fall, soft and warm continuing, tapping on my roof and walls”. The other verses are just a as good, if not better. Poetry set to a great fingerpicking guitar part.

Me too, taking my dog there tomorrow

I was there too! Had a drink sitting amongst the headstones, then went to Hill Cafe for dinner and came back for the concertos inside the church. Such a lovely afternoon!

I love the view from Libby Hill any time of the year, but right now it’s especially cool to be able to see hundreds of trees of all colors across the James River “valley”.

I grew up Brevard County south of Melbourne and now live in Richmond! Where exactly did you move? There is a lot to love about Florida, and a whole lot to hate. Unfortunately the awful things are very in your face (heat/humidity, seemingly endless suburban sprawl, tourists, etc.) and the best parts are subtly beautiful and requiring a little digging to find (a sunrise surf session on an isolated beach, Florida prairies, the St, John’s River in the spring). It’s tough. I definitely have nostalgia for FL, but left there and am happy in Virginia. The south Brevard beaches is one of my favorite places. I have lots of Brevard recommendations if you want to message me.
