I spent my morning with a magnificent and extremely talented, motivated, caring, intelligent group of people. And while I tried to listen to their presentation, I actually realized that I’d been missing something my whole life….the meaning of the verb “to set” in Western North Carolina.
I never got it, even though I grew up [...]

Oh dear.
Bill is coming to town to stump for Hillary. Her people have intimated that they don’t give a rat’s arse about NC, but other campaign observers are noting that the campaign for the democratic nominee might just come down to ole NC. Our primary isn’t until June. Seventh to last in [...]

Just six months after their last Asheville show, Widespread Panic is returning to Asheville, this time for their annual Halloween show. Asheville Citizen-Times Take 5 correspondent Jedd Ferris has a nice piece in last week’s Take 5 about the upcoming show here.
Having been to their Halloween show at NYC’s Madison Square Gardens in what I [...]

I’ve been having bloggerblock lately. I have a lot to say, but everytime I think about posting, I start to feel shy about it. My fingers won’t move. Not sure what’s going on. I’ll put in a few tidbits of what’s been happening, mostly for my own entertainment and records, since I’m pretty sure I’m [...]

Haven’t posted in a few days as I’m absolutely waterlogged and pruney. I’m real glad that Asheville is getting this much-needed rain, but I’m one of those folks who wants to just crawl in a hole and die after this many days of rain.
Anyway, this weekend in Asheville is Bele Chere, our annual festival in [...]

I did the following this weekend, beginning at around noon on Friday:
Had a difficult exchange at work with supervisor, maintained composure, then melted down in my office once door closed. Phew. Still a bummer about what happened, but, shit happens. I’ve hit a salary ceiling, that’s all. *Harumph*
Had my handwriting impaired by aforementioned Ganglion Cyst [...]

I’m really not a huge fan of email forwards, but I got this one from my Mom and thought it was hilarious. (Disclaimer: I take absolutely no credit for it and have no clue who originally wrote it.) I have, however, added my comments in red to the tips I find particularly true. (Ps… The link [...]

I’m a postin’ fool today, because I’m working from home. Lots to ponder.
1) This weekend was fabulous with the aforementioned wedding and birthday. The wedding was one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to millions, and if I’ve been to yours, please don’t be offended because I [...]

Spring is my favorite season. I like it because it is a season during which Mother Nature is taunting and teasing us, when she gives us gorgeous summer-like days (only not as sweltering), and terrible storms alike. Each day promises to be different, and if you ever dare assume you know how the spring will [...]

I can hardly believe it myself. After two busy busy days at work and home, I finally have time to post but it’s time for American Idol. I’m posting anyway. What dedication! And, Ryan Seacrest just said that tonight, they will share with us the most shocking results EVER. E-v-a-h!!!! [...]

LC’s post about bumper stickers inspired me and I’ve been on the lookout for redonk stickers.
This one made me laugh today as I sped through the streets of town trying not to be late for work for the millionth time in a row:

in Ashevegas, that is.
No not that kind, that’s the kind I’m having right now - the sheer panic of how dreadful work is today that I want to hit the panic button.
Tonight though, Asheville will experience Widespread Panic. That’s right, JB is once again gracing us with his presence. Only what I’ve learned [...]

I was at a friend’s wedding recently, and me and T arrived at the reception and were among the first to show up. (Strategic move on my part, more yummies and sippies!)
Anyway I was talking to good friend K while T ran to get something, and her friend showed up and we all started talking [...]

I tried to think of a better title for this post, but I really can’t think of anything more fitting.
Asheville has no radio stations. Well ok, we have a couple, but they’re terrible. First of all, the fact that Asheville is beautifully nestled in a small valley means that while stunning views are [...]

This morning I experienced a pretty joyous revelation about the difference in my morning commute now.
I see this kind of wild turkeys on my way to work these days living in Asheville:
