We decided to stay in Blowing Rock figuring that we would look around town, and go to some of the local attractions, since we really liked the town and our room. We went out late this morning and looked around. There are some really charming stores around, though we didn’t buy much (our budget is [...]

Well, our vacation has started, and we had a really nice time. We are in Blowing Rock, at a place called Homestead Inn. Its just past the major season here, so while things are still open, its quiet. We ate at a little pub called the Six Pence Pub and Restaurant, and had a really [...]

Well, I had my day in court. The cost of going 83 in a 65 in North Carolina is $25 + a $120 Court Fee. $145 all told to be paid by 90 days by mail. All in all, it wasn’t too bad. Mostly it was just boring. The one annoying thing was that the [...]

Well, this was a down day. We basically spent most of the day in the hotel room watching TV, and passing time. Basically, other than that, the only eventful thing is that Charlotte is eating and drinking again. She is more active, and she seems to be happier. We did manage to find a restaurant [...]

So here we are in Lumberton. Its small. Not much to do. We just checked in, and are trying to get Charlotte to eat or drink something. (She hasn’t since we left.) Afterward we will see what there is to do around here. Here’s a link to the map of the hotel. View Larger Map

Well, that is it. In minutes, I lost about 5 pounds. We had talked about cutting my hair, but Bionca always balked at the last moment. This time, I decided to just do it. So when Bionca started getting second thoughts, I grabbed the scissors and started hacking at my ponytail. We then took the [...]

Well, I changed out of the chair that I was using, and I am so glad for it. It was this really nice micro-suede, and very comfy, but the problem was that every time I got up, I had a static change that I would have to discharge (which seemed to happen one third of [...]

First Christmas came and went, and now New Years too. (Happy 2008.) I enjoyed them, but I am also glad to get back to normal life. I will miss the lights though. Christmas was spent over at Bionca’s mom’s place, where we met with her sisters and opened presents. We really had a nice time [...]
