Wayne Levine | Man-to-Man
Dear Wayne,
I’ve been dating this girl for about two years. Things are pretty good. She’s been talking about marriage. It’s just that the sex has gotten a little stale. It pisses me off that she doesn’t initiate. Seems like, more and more, I’d rather work later or make plans with my buddies than hang with her. It’s messed up. How do I turn this around?
Signed,

Jim Bishop | A father’s love goes on ‘Forever and Ever’
My dad, J. Vernon Bishop of Doylestown, Pa., has been gone 10 years. It only seems like several weeks ago that he left us too quickly, life drained from him by a blood disease, at age 76.
I used to think that 76 sounded really ancient. Not anymore.
Although Dad is physically absent, his legacy of wit, wisdom and example he gave as a loving, high-spirited earthly father remain. Read more
Dad’s Point of View | Memories are made of this
I am quite happy to write this column from the vantage point of some distance from the pain of my own father’s death and the time I was alone, separated, and then divorced, and raising my boys 24/7. But, it only seems appropriate to reflect on those times, the positive memories of my dad, and the contrasting struggle of teaching my boys, much younger then, to remember their own father. Read more
Cooch agrees to restrictions on use of debate footage
Following up on an earlier report on a disagreement on the planned Saturday, June 20, debate between attorney-general candidates Steve Shannon and Ken Cuccinelli, it appears that the debate will go on as scheduled now, as it also appears that I was right about the objections that had been raised by the Shannon campaign on a key point about the use of campaign footage.

Maybe a law was broken in registrar e-mail exchange
An AFP reader might have a point regarding a possible violation of laws in a discussion between the former voter registrar in Waynesboro and a candidate for the appointment to the post.
“Providing information about the manner in which a specific vote is cast, or any information regarding an individual’s votes, is ABSOLUTELY illegal – no questions asked,:” reader Donna Kent noted in a comment posted to the AFP site on Thursday on a comment thread for our Online Extra on the e-mail exchanges between former Waynesboro registrar Mary Alice Downs and the current registrar, Lisa Wooten.

Chris Graham | A fun night at the ballyard
OK, so the Waynesboro Generals lost 8-2 to the Staunton Braves on the field Thursday night. Even so, the game night was a fun one, with several Generals fans making the trek over ftom the River City to the Queen City for the game at John Moxie Memorial Stadium to encourage the kids in blue on. As you can see from my attempt at a Blackberry photo essay. Read more
Weekend Watchdog | Father’s Day Viewing
It’s Father’s Day weekend. And Dad has plenty of good sports to enjoy on his day, after opening the card and present.
Tiger Woods is playing golf. What could be better. Maybe a duel with Phil Mickelson, who finished second to Woods in 2002 when the Open was last at Bethpage Black. Read more

Tim Kaine | Time to get behind Deeds
We’ve had a spirited campaign season thus far, and I couldn’t be more excited about our chances this fall with Creigh Deeds as our candidate for governor. For months, the opposition believed that our primary would divide us and hurt our chances of winning in November. We’ve proved them wrong, and I’m so impressed by your strong support and enthusiasm for our ticket. Read more
Mark Warner | Enhancing health-care choices for seniors
I want to take a moment to keep you updated on health reform legislation I have introduced in the Senate.
Last week, I submitted a bill that will improve the quality and increase the availability of counseling, support services, and advanced care management for patients and families with life-limiting illnesses. I expect my proposal to be wrapped into comprehensive health reform legislation we’ll consider through the summer. Read more
