What happens now?

All Modes and Roads Lead to a HUGE Show
My family has always loved a good time and when we learned that Hugh Jackman's THE MAN, THE MUSIC, THE SHOW was coming to our hemisphere; had to plan a get together. Our variety of ages from, let us say, post-Medicare to pre-middle school enrollment, determined other...
What is This Strange Place?
One of the issues of being an older new singleton is getting out at night. Pat and I went everywhere all the time; even after he was on life support. We saw Book of Mormon one sleety February afternoon at DPAC and attended many concerts in Chapel Hill and Greensboro,...

BLEST BE THE TIES THAT BIND
Leaving for Mississippi as soon as DAILY DONUTS in Graham opens so I don't go empty handed. I'm going to Pat's stepmother's funeral. The donuts are important because they are the first donuts I’ve had that are as good as the ones offered at the Ole Miss...
