- Blessings to the man on the corner of E. Franklin and 8th in downtown Richmond (near Sefton Coffee) who was playing the harmonica in between puffs of a cigarette. He was so dedicated to both his music and his nicotine that he found a way to blend the two. Impressive!
- Blessings to the journalist in the photo below, who clearly has the world's most disorganized desk. He was being interviewed on TV about a murder trial taking place in Atlanta. How can he find anything on his desk??
- I am WITHHOLDING blessings from the College of William and Mary for poor e-mail management during its "One Tribe, One Day" fundraising campaign. The College wanted as many alumni as possible to donate on April 10. During the day, I received thirteen different e-mails asking me to give money. They even sent one with the percentage of alumni named Eric who had donated. I love the Tribe, but come on!
- Blessings to the vending machines in the Richmond Federal Building, which were responsible for a comical series of events when I tried to buy a soda last month. Updates from that story: The soda machine is out of order. And look at the new animal crackers - the entire snack is now considered one serving. Problems solved!
- Blessings to the man wearing a Kid Rock t-shirt who had been pulled over by a police officer along the highway in Maryland. This man, who was in a group of motorcyclists, was awkwardly trying to take a selfie while the police officer sat in his car with the lights on (Maria and I were able to watch the entire event because we had slowed down for an unrelated backup). Why, sir, are you taking a selfie and smiling in this situation??
- Blessings to the man at the Richmond Amtrak station who asked his cab driver to take a picture after getting dropped off. The photo wasn't inside the station or near an Amtrak sign (which you might want if you were making a scrapbook of a trip). Instead, the cab driver took the photo of the man in front of a random brick wall, looked at the digital camera, and said, "It's really dark." Fun fact: This took place at about 5:25 AM.
- Blessings to Woodfin, a local heating and air company that does our semi-annual HVAC tuneup. For some reason, I am now on their e-mail list that sends out "motivational statements" every Monday. Here are a few:
What am I supposed to do with these "motivational" statements? Are they supposed to inspire the air conditioner to have a great day? Maybe one day the reason for them will just click.
Until next time - blessings to (nearly) everyone involved!

I'm thinking the Kid Rock selfie guy thinks there is no such thing as bad publicity, and the Amtrak photo guy is clearly just trying to establish an alibi for some heinous crime being committed by someone on his behalf.
