After rushing from class to class all day, braving the winter winds and bundling up against below-freezing temperatures, who wouldn't want to come home to a warm kitchen, filled with the smells of a Scandinavian winter supper?
Bundled up in heavy coats, fleece hats and cozy gloves, University students have been bracing themselves during the last two weeks against the elements of a Charlottesville winter.
I took George Bush Jr., Condoleezza Rice, and uhmmm, the Pope, and first posed with them in a funny hat picture, and then second, shook them all like maracas.
Thomas Jefferson began the construction of the first building of Central College on October 6, 1817.
I was sitting in the first floor entryway of Bryan Hall, next to the fluores-cent, plastic glow of the vending machines.
"Now I know it's unusual, but with all the gray squirrels that abound on this campus, why is it that the most aberrant of squirrels appears frolicking outside the confines of Gilmer Hall, where biology houses its offices?
Since it's just too cold to be outside tonight, come to Espresso Royale on the Corner, grab a cup of coffee and be there for the free premiere of the fourth and fifth episodes of "Stratagem" -- an original television series produced by WHOO-TV, the student-run TV station at the University.

A "Now Open!" sign hangs in front of the Harris Teeter in the Barracks Road Shopping Center. Colorful balloons fly throughout the checkout area in the front of the store.
Considering the many guest speakers that filter through Grounds daily, it's no easy task to keep tabs on them all.Today is no exception. This evening features a lecture by J.M.
It's a Sunday afternoon, birds are chirping, children are playing and the stomach is calling for a tasty home-style meal from Cranberry Farms.

The flight attendant's caffeinated voice woke me from the restless recovery slumber I was enduring as a result of my crazy last night in Charlottesville. While vainly attempting to disguise the greasy hair and bloodshot eyes before facing my mother, I glanced out at the arid landscape below the flimsy oval window of the plane.
Q: How long have you been driving a bus? A: Since May of 2000, so two and a half years. Q: What made you decide you wanted to drive? A: I knew somebody who drove a bus at Virginia Tech, and it looked like fun, so I decided to try. Q: What's your favorite part of driving a bus? A: Being in control of a very large vehicle. Q: Was it hard, learning to drive? A: Yes and no.
