No disappointment

Posted on | November 28, 2009 | Comments Off

Williamsburg, Virginia is one of the places that does not disappoint.

I took a group of drug addicts from the Army there on a weekend visit. They complained about having to go from the time they first heard of the outing until they got there. No more complaints. And these were addicts. Some of the world’s great complainers.

I thought as I walked through the town that life at the time and place of Colonial Williamsburg would have been very good. Except. No electronic music. Thank you, Mr. Edison. And Mr. Jobs. And lots of folks in between.

One of the things about not having a lot of money that I miss is extraordinarily good high fidelity equipment. Especially when listening to the Vivaldi Gloria.

This is the best I can offer you.

Walk well. God is love.
