Spiral walkway outside the modernist folk art center. Honest.

Headed up into the hills for a hike with the extended family. Things I learned:

– I am old

Give me an hour or two an old part of town and I can be pretty happy.

Spent the day at the Biltmore and the evening downtown.

I could adapt to here.

The step-brother-and-sister-in-laws asked the Girl Child and I if we wanted to go ziplining with them. She said YES and said … uhh, sure …

I am not a fan of heights but really enjoyed it. Gray, rainy day, but the company was great.

This genetically modified food stuff has to stop …

Off on a little vacation with the extended family, all in one giant house in the mountains. The chimney goes up two-plus stories and … scares me. Everything is oddly oversized.
