Vacation: a wonderful thing.
Beach-sitting on Grand Cayman, zip-line fun on Isla Roatan, cave tubing in Belize, and touring the ruins in Costa Maya.
Having time to sit on deck, sip a drink, enjoy the sun, work on my tan, and finish a novel I’d started a while back.
Time with Mrs…. All to [...]
Catching up
Posted at 8:24 pm | Filed Under Uncategorized, Weekly reviews
Whew. A week’s vacation is a wonderful thing, even considering all the work that has to be done before and after. I’ve spent the better part of this week with the catch-up work, and I’m not even close to what I’d call a satisfactory level of being caught up. But there’s work rolling in, and [...]

Virginia Tech’s site is sharing a list of colleges and universities across the country who have expressed their support for the Hokie community. Among them is the Appalachian School of Law, providing this message.
The 33rd stone
Posted at 5:11 am | Filed Under Rants, Uncategorized, Weekly reviews
Under April 22’s posting, we mentioned that there Virginia Tech had added a 33rd stone to the memorial in front of Burruss. Yesterday’s Roanoke Times offers that it was not VT who had put out that stone, but Ms Katelynn Johnson, a student at VT. Here’s the article.
Good for Ms Johnson, for standing [...]
Supporting Dr. Steger
Posted at 5:11 am | Filed Under Rants, Uncategorized
It’s our opinion that Dr. Steger did a very good job providing a dignified face for the University under the circumstances of last week. Many of the media and the finger-pointers out there were asking for his dismissal.
Black Cat Research, Governor Kaine, and the Hokie Nation support Dr. Steger and his actions. This article on [...]
“We are Virginia Tech!”
Posted at 8:07 pm | Filed Under Rants, Uncategorized
Not “Virginia Tech University.”
Katie Couric, the local Fox station, and at least one blog have referred to us as Virginia Tech University. Stop that, dammit! We are Virginia Tech. Don’t believe us? Just ask Nikki Giovanni, or any Tech student.
Come on. It’s time for the news media and several others [...]

What a week. Tragedy. Loss. Grief. Anger. Finger-pointing. Road to recovery. Hokie strength.
Pain: Thirty-two innocent lives lost.
Dignity: VT added a 33rd stone to the memorial in front of Burruss.
Awesome: community strength. The Hokie Nation certainly pulls together in times of crisis. This week, we’ve had the [...]

We also received this one in today’s email. In the message, credit is given to Chris Kennedy. Thank you, Chris.
(22 April edit: we’ve lost the image… will repost as soon as we find it again.)
Good job, Governor Kaine
Posted at 5:19 am | Filed Under Uncategorized
Quoting from this morning’s Yahoo article:
“I think that people who want to take this within 24 hours of the event and make it their political hobby horse to ride … I’ve got nothing but loathing for them,” Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine said. “To those who want to try to make this into [...]
