tout va bien

a few things to be noted.

1-uva is over rated, everyone visible is overtly preppy and what i would classify as the usual suspects at a dave matthews concert.

2-northern virginia has its ups. and its downs. everyone is blase and mcmansions abound.

3-natural bridge is good. how can the gift shop not carry prints by F.E. Church, and the other hudson river schoolers and those other early american guys no one thinks about, including myself? frightening.

4-monticello is small but tj fascinates me nonetheless.

5-virginia has great bookstores. i like the people who work them as well.
