Clara asked about my phrase "wayward Virginians." For "wayward,"
Webster will do just fine: taking one's own way; disobedient; froward.
The wayward Virginians I was referring to were those who for a brief
four-year period rebelled against and departed from the federal Union
they have been a part of for the other 200+ years since that Union was
created.
