From even the most minor squalls. This, my friends, was no squall. We lost power at noon yesterday. Today there are almost half a million people in the Richmond Metropolitan Area wi...

A nominally comprehensive guide to age 30. About Act Your Age. About Act Your Age. I started this blog when I was just days away from turning 30, and I posted to it daily for 18 days.
