Think I could be an Arm Wrestler? Tune in for Season 5 of Charlottesville-Inside Out this November to find out.

Love Thy Neighbor

The neighborhood

I’ve been thinking lately about what makes a good friend. Is it someone who listens to you and holds your hand when you’re feeling down? Is it someone who doesn’t judge you and just loves you -- warts and all? Maybe a good friend is a person who laughs with you and tells you you’re funny – even when you aren’t. Or perhaps it is someone who gives freely of their time, their attention or – better yet -- their kidney.

If you’ve been keeping up with Charlottesville Inside-Out this season, you know we’ve covered a lot of interesting topics so far. For example, I had a great time playing music with Ellis Paul, one of the leading voices in American songwriting, and learning more about his craft. And I really enjoyed visiting Morven Farm, a historical “think-tank” located in one of the most beautiful spots in Albemarle County.
