First weekend back

Got back to Virginia Beach this evening, from a weekend trip back to Roanoke. Got some more of my personal things, but more importantly, got to spend time with Rain. It's going to be a while before I see her again, which sucks rocks. Big chunks of volcanic pumice rocks, still blistering hot too. :(

But I did get to see her, that's what's important. Even got to see rhaps and shrewlet for a bit on Saturday, and trenn for an even briefer bit.

I should be back up in Blacksburg in two weeks, to catch up with calandra and much of the B-burg crowd. Jesse Braxton told me to pass along her regrets that she won't be able to come up that weekend, but life made other plans for her.

Weird drive. Because of the deep layer of cloud cover over Roanoke, and the clear skies over Norfolk, this is one of the first afternoon drives I've taken where the sky got lighter as the afternoon wore away.
