Gayle and Tom DeLashmutt are like any elderly couple trying to downsize, only their transition is a tad more complicated: The home they’re leaving is a 1,200-acre Virginia estate that once belonged to a Founding Father.
Selling a Founding Father’s estate, for this couple, means leaving home
Among the decisions Gayle and Tom DeLashmutt faced about Oak Hill was what to do with the Virginia mansion built by America’s fifth president, James Monroe.

So will the GOP learn anything from their biggest defeat since 1961?
Of course, VA Dems and Rs were VERY different back in the 1940s, 50s, etc. than they are today, but still...Spanberger's margin was the biggest for a VA Dem governor candidate since 1961 and the third-biggest governor candidate margin overall since 1961. bluevirginia.us/2025/11/12-m...

So much of what this President has done for years is projection - he clearly doesn't have the cognitive ability or mental stamina to do this job at age 79

I sang the Murray Head version last time at karaoke with mock posh gusto and it killed with the kids, with one lonely stripling paraphrasing the line to an indifferent young lady lost in her phone. I actually love the line only because it is silly and there is no theatrical limit for its delivery.

I see they’ve given this a new book. New lyrics might not be a bad idea either. “I get my kicks above the waistline sunshine” was hide-under-the-couch embarrassing the first time around.
