While Shepherds Watched
A 4-part short story by Jim Brewer Seeking Pasture Near Bethlehem The sheep had gone easily into the fold that evening. Young Amos was pleased that he had not been called on to round up any stragglers. Rather, the flock of 98 was safely within the confines of the corral made of stones from the fields, and erected just north of the town of Bethlehem, known to the … [Read more...]
Flat Cranking the Potomac
Capt. Steve Chaconas Colder nights and shorter days will cool the Potomac River. Depth and speed are the keys. It’s time to slow down. Water temperature is falling from the low 50s this week. A dry week ahead with a chilly start on Monday, highs only in the upper 40s warming up to the mid 60s by the weekend. Friday, the low will be in the mid 40s. Tight wiggle, flat-sided crankbaits on … [Read more...]
Big Stripers On the Way
Dr. Julie Ball As anglers keep an eye on the weather for fishable openings, the saltwater temperatures continue to cool, encouraging the fall bite to transform into a more winter-like trend. No one is anticipating the onset of the winter fishery more than local striped bass enthusiasts. While Bay anglers are now content with rockfish ranging from school-sized up to nearly 40-inches, the real … [Read more...]
Two Turtle Doves
On the second day of Christmas somebody’s true love gave a gift of Two Turtle Doves. Personally, I’d rather have a gift certificate to Chili’s, but to each his own. True turtle doves are European natives. A migratory species, they spend their summers across Europe and the Middle East while wintering in southern Africa. We don’t have turtle doves in the states. What some call turtle doves are … [Read more...]
Mr. Faucet Saves the Day
When it rains, it pours. At least I find that true when things go wrong around the house. In the past few months, our refrigerator died, our wall oven died, our stove top was on life support and our dishwasher was placed on extended leave. After replacing all of the above, we noticed a wet spot on the ceiling of the downstairs bath. A leak! That’s never good and company is coming for Thanksgiving! … [Read more...]
Great Boomer Toys
Countless Boomers will flock to the stores this month to buy what they hope will be welcomed toys for their grandkids, but there was a time when Boomer children also received great toys and gifts for Christmas. Toys were simpler back then, but no less appreciated. There were no computers or electronic games back then, nor cell phones with cameras or IPods. Bikes were overwhelming favorites … [Read more...]
Confetti Chili
Sometimes you have to eat stuff that’s good for you, otherwise it’s “Blimpsville” for your waistline. But sometimes, you want to eat stuff that’s good for you because it tastes terrific. I enjoyed such a dish recently called “Confetti Chili.” Sue Overton of Skyline Graphics rustled up a big batch and it was healthy and delicious. If you try this turkey-based chili, you may never want ground beef … [Read more...]
Black Friday at CGC

But Kevin Gibson at Charlottesville Golf Center is staging a Black Friday that all golfers will all enjoy. CGC is having an amazing sale. Check out the goodies below – Black Friday Only. All Mizuno Iron Sets 8-Clubs $100 off (in … [Read more...]
While Shepherds Watched
A few years back, I wrote a short story called While Shepherds Watched. The story is about those shepherds who were in the fields that night near Bethlehem when Christ was born to Mary and Joseph in a Bethlehem stable. The story is how I imagined the situation, who the shepherds were, why they were there in the first place, what they must have thought and my take on the incredible, heavenly glory … [Read more...]
