Catholic in a Small Town

We spend a weekend in Richmond, VA as Jude visits friends, preplanning has started for Mac, and we are running out of space at our dining room table. Twisters lets us down while Presumed Innocent is hard not to like. Also, the Olympics desecrated our faith.

As Mac's Summer draws to a close, the Barrons make the most of local concerts, pellet grills, American epics, and assassination attempts. Also, Mac cries like a baby at a brewery.

All boat rides can't be the best, especially when you are all mad at each other and you forget to fill the tank! Inside Out 2 is fun and Shogun is probably not good for the soul… which you won't really know until you've (once again) done some soul-searching about your media consumption.
