Bravo!

"Kudos to Saint Bede for hosting the free Trinity Organ Series of concerts. Listening to the classical works makes for a delightful lunchtime hour. Looking forward to next year's season."

Tongue in cheek

"An enterprising local restaurant has added new menu items in the wake of this week's news from Jamestown. These include: lady fingers, shepherdess pie, colonist casserole, and the popular Jamestown family stew."

Phone scam

"I have received several calls to my cell phone by someone in broken English telling me I will get a $100 voucher to be used at any store of my choosing. The catch is I need to send $3.95 for the shipping cost and place it on my Visa or MasterCard. I told him a voucher could be put in an envelope and should only take one stamp to mail to me. All he wanted was access to my credit card."

Race agenda

"I would give a strong protest about this rainbow run. Apparently the homosexual community formed a run through Town Center in Newport News. They took different-colored flour and threw it around while it was raining."

The event was called Color Me Rad, part of a nationwide race series loosely based on the Hindu Festival of Colors, also known as Holi. Participants wear white clothing, and people stationed along the race route throw colored powder on them as they run by. The local race benefited the Newport News Green Foundation. Another race in the series takes place Sunday in Virginia Beach. Visit http://www.colormerad.com for details.
