I Don't Like Mondays
But I adore Fridays!!! Besides it being the beginning of the weekend, it is also the name of a great event downtown...Fridays After Five. I hadn't been to this amazing event since the first one this year, mainly because of brutal weather conditions. But today was perfect, weather-wise and music-wise. So, I went. It was so great to catch up with folks I hadn't seen in ages. Lisa, Michelle, Michael, Alex, Karen, Sandy, Larry, Jim, Erin, and so many more...where does the time go? I also saw for the first time (and probably should have seen this long ago) how wonderful this event is for families with kids of all ages. Face painting, kettle corn, and more now make what I used to think of as a 'drunk fest' a very family event. I'm so proud that we have something like this here.

Random Thoughts On A Run
C'ville has great, interesting places to run. I usually run a 6 mile trek around UVA and have lots of time to observe and think. Here are today's musings:
- I think the Women's 4-miler training program is such an awesome way to support a great cause and introduce women to the world of running. I have several friends who are running in that event on September 4th. I am going to be there cheering them on and getting inspired myself.
- The UVA pond beside the Curry School (across from the Newcomb Hall parking garage) used to have 4 ducks. Now there are only three. Does anyone know what happened to the little brown duck?
- If I start dancing when I stop for water because a good song is on my iPod, will anyone notice? Yep. My apologies to the touring group of the E-School for my bad moves.
- I can always tell that Summer is slipping away when the pink fluffy things on the Mimosa tree near Darden start drying up.
- a picnic at the polo match at King Family Vineyard this Sunday would be a great way to spend the day
- have I earned a Frosty?
Lots of love- A

Long Time, No C....villeHipper
Is it just me, or is C'ville coming full circle? I didn't write for a while...okay, a long while, because I just didn't feel I had anything to add. And why waste your time and mine if things are well, blah. Yes, there are things for the Hook and C-ville to write about, but that's not me. I'm only looking for the fun in C'ville. Life is too short, right? So, I'm back, and will be back posting and will be for a long time. I like passing along the good word. So, here we go...
- just went to a beautiful fundraiser at Keswick Vineyards for an incredible man and family a few weeks ago. It reminded me how incredible and giving the people in our lovely area are.
-the Women Who Golf tournament to benefit MACAA is happening September 20th. There is an early bird registration until August 27th. Please register at http://www.macaa.org/events/women_golf.html
-the Albemarle County Fair is Aug 3-Aug 8th. And while I didn't necessarily like standing out in the heat for 8 hours when I worked for a local radio station, there is nothing better than a local fair and funnel cake. Visit http://www.albemarlecountyfair.com for all the details.
So much more to come from me. I love this city and won't take no for an answer. (Yeah, I don't know what that means either, but when said with passion, it sounds so 'China Syndrome' - esque.)
