New Development
I highly recommend that you check out the new online journal The Polycultural, created by some friends of mine from Wilmington. Poke around and see how you like it! One of your favorite bloggers has a post in there. Enjoy.

Moving Right Along
Presenting the last couple weeks in scenes:
1) Enjoying the hurricane in Mike's apartment, listening to him and Howard and Thomas play the best of our early adolescence, candlelight reflecting off beer bottles because we'd turned the lights out the better to see the storm. Also a girls-vs.-guys game of something like charades.
2) Eating pizza at Mom and Dad's house with old friends we usually see only at holidays, followed by peaches with granola and whipped cream.
3) The dazzling progressive-dinner parade-of-love quality of my morning in Davidson and evening in Charlotte. So many delightful people in one day! Rob Spach! Anne Wills! Daniel Ervin! Mike and Katie Foote! That's my kind of company. The best part was the effortlessness of reconnecting after various amounts of time apart, facilitated by Box Turtle Mocha at Summit Coffee, quiche and hamburger, pizza and beer, and the deep goodness of the people involved. In between, reading free New York Timeses, a Davidson institution.
4) That first breathtaking glimpse of Blue Ridge through the trees, and the instant familiarity of Blowing Rock even after years away.
5) Mast General Store full of cozy socks (and I don't even like socks!), scarves, fleece, and other layers of goodness making me so ready for fall.
