Asheville. wow.

Saved by the Bell seasons one and two are just as brilliant as I remember.

We found a pretty incredible place to stay. We are actually in West Asheville which is infinitely cooler than the downtown. There are 6 people that live in this house and they are all amazing people. Funny thing though, none of them are from Asheville. I don't think I've actually met anyone who is born and raised here that's under 30.

It snowed the first morning we were here. It was beautiful but rather nippy. The following day the girls went climbing at the gym where one of our hosts works. I went for a hike down to the Green River with some kayakers to scope out the rapids. The Green is unique in that there is a powerplant that filters water for energy and then releases it back into the river. So roughly 300 days a year there is a surge of water that makes for great rapids all year long.

The highlight of our stay, so far, has been the Hoots and Hellmouth show at Bobo's. Those four boys from PA rocked our effing socks off. Oh, there was dancing and mayhem, and there was a group sing-a-long. Those crazy kids ended up spending the night at the same house as we were. Once there was a modest crowd assembled, the fun really began.  We placed a tissue on the ground and then took turns trying to pick it up with only one foot on the ground and no hands. People had been drinking, so balance turned out to be the greatest challenge for most. Technique ranged from one foot on top of another to a kind of splits in the air kind of thing. I don't think anyone ended up getting it, but the tissue certainly got a work out. The next morning the whole house entourage went to an amazing breakfast. The Sunny Point blackberry jam stuff will change your life a little bit for the better.

Julia ended up heading north without us. She had a journey to make solo. Rocky and I are suffering in her absence, but we have been calling and texting everyday to avoid withdraw.

The weather let up long enough for us to go on a bouldering adventure to the Rumbling Bald. There were many boulders to climb, but I refrained after a couple climbs and stood around as a one woman peanut gallery. I both encouraged and harassed all the real climbers. That is one intense sport and I think it was for the best that I made lame jokes and got everyone to at least smile under their breath.

We are now waiting for the joyous day of thanks to descend upon us. There are multi-plans out there for Rocky and I, so I know that we will be fed and surrounded by wonderful people.

I don't know if you're still in Asheville, but if you are, there's a book signing by John Green at Malaprop's (Saturday @ 1 PM, 55 Haywood St.). He's an awesome author! His most recent book was Paper Towns, which made the NYTimes bestselling list, but his other two books are great, too.

Could you help me. Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever. Help me! I can not find sites on the: Bits pilani distance education. I found only this - interactive distance education. I commit lives and disperse the people think swplers that get beliefs and surnames. There are not long seconds who are images investigating intrusive to focus self-reproach or whatever. Thanks :-).

Good tips. Educating yourself is very important – “trying very, very hard” without taking the time to educate yourself properly first can be a waste of time.
