That sounds...intriguing...but I always find after the third sip the taste doesn't matter much.

Did you try asking for Absolut Poire? Maybe they have that?

yeah, like sometimes you just have to tell readers shit, instead of always trying to show it

And thank you in advance for visiting and supporting the town. They are still really hurting after Helene.

Parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway are likely still closed, but if you can figure out where it's open you shouldn't miss a drive and/or hike up there.

My favorite writerly activity is the Thomas Wolfe house. The house is well-preserved with original furnishings and kitchen appliances, etc, so it can be interesting for kids even if they haven't read Look Homeward Angel yet ;)

People talk about the Pinball Museum but I've never been. Plan to walk around town and visit shops and galleries.

There are trolley tours that take you around and tell you the history of the town - there's a lot of it! including Zelda Fitzgerald's untimely demise - and I think that's worth it too.

The premiere indie bookstore is Malaprop's.

This is my beautiful home town! The main attraction is the Biltmore House, and while it is pricey it is also worth it. Plan to spend most of the day there. In addition to the house, there are gardens and grounds - if you're lucky you might catch a demonstration by the blacksmith.

on the flip side, what would i write about if that childhood went away? ;)

I read every word and loved it. You had me at "sandwich."

The college poet who became in insurance salesman 💕

And by young, I guess I mean 40 😂

All the people I know who crochet are young and hip!
