Last Saturday I saw: hope, anticipation, encouragement, compassion, excitement, determination, shear guts, humor, friendship, strength, community spirit, kindness, positive energy, exuberance…

I was lucky enough to participate in the Ukrops 10k Monument Avenue Race in Richmond, Virginia. That evening we met several friends at the White Hawk Café in Goochland County for sandwiches and some great Bluegrass music by “Maidens Crossing.” A beautiful Spring day in the heart of Virginia shared with friends old and new. A very fine day to remember.
