The webcast of the UVa baseball team in the NCAA tournament is suitable for work.

Good afternoon,

As I write this, I have the webcast of the UVa-Navy baseball game on my office computer. Sure wish I was at Davenport. There aren't many better days for baseball than this. We do have Marc Davis and Matt Parsons at the game. Marc is keeping you updated on Twitter, Matt is behind the lens so you can catch all the big plays tonight and on the web.

Tara Wheeler just walked by. She's hosting our coverage of Fridays After Five tonight. Again, perfect weather for the Downtown Mall. If you go to the concert, say hey to Tara.

Chris Stover has already filed a story for today. He hung out with firefighters and utiility workers for an interesting account of how they train for electrical fires. And then we had one. Frankie Jupiter is out at a house fire in Charlottesville that was caused by an electrical issue.

We're also updating the search for Samantha Clarke and we'll have a special guest from UVa at 5 to describe what's going on with reunion weekend. What a weekend to be a Cav. Come here for the reunion, cheer on the baseball team and then enjoy the perfect weather.

Jim
