Fiercely Virginian
May 6, 2006 · Filed Under Random Thoughts
I just arrived back at home about an hour ago from the commencement ceremonies of Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. The drive to Huntington is absolutely wonderful…mountains, hills and hollers a’plenty for enjoying. My mother and her family are from West Virginia (Fayette County), as are my wife and all of her family (Greenbrier County), so I have pretty strong ties to our neighbor to the west, but I remain fiercely Virginian.
To be a Virginian either by Birth, Marriage, Adoption, or even on one’s Mother’s side is an Introduction to any State in the Union, a Passport to any Foreign Country, and a Benediction from Above.

No matter where I’ve been, I love crossing back into Virginia.
