I have to admit Fall is my favorite time of year. My family will tell you that's because my birthday's in the Fall. Bu that's only part of it. I look forward to Fall because for me it's a time to head back indoors. A time to huddle on the couch, watch football and eat homemade chili that's been cooking in the crock pot for hours. It's the perfect time to gather and just be together as a family.

Sure, a lot of reporting so far on the governor has missed the ...

Right now our crews are gearing up to provide the best coverage possible to keep you and your family safe. We're planning where we need to be to gauge the power and path of the storm.
I can tell you getting it right and not overeacting are keys to planning and executing our cov...

Last Sunday, some 16,000 runners lined up at the Virginia Beach Convention Center shortly before seven o'clock in the morning to run the 8th annual Rock and Roll Half Marathon.
The race is a premiere running event supported by great volunteers and residents of neighborhoods along the course who get up early and cheer on friends and strangers.
I've run almost every Rock and Roll Half in Virginia Beach, and each year I end up w...
