Obviously, COVID-19 interfered with that, but when I set off that Spring on my first trip to North Carolina’s coast, I had … Continue reading Coastal North Carolina, part one (March 2020)
I never know how to begin these hodgepodge posts. Let me try this approach: Let’s look at some photos, DAMMIT! Yeah. I think that works. We begin in June 2019.

But I didn’t just go all willy-nilly. First, I did some web searchin’ and … Continue reading Asheville, North Carolina, part one (March 2018)

Greetings and possibly salutations! (I’m not exactly sure what salutations are, so I don’t know whether they are appropriate at this stage of our relationship.)
