I've just returned from another trip to Black Mountain, NC where I enjoyed several fun-filled days with friends I made at work in the 90s. When you spend 32 years at one company, you're bound to make some friends.

The drive to Elizabeth City, on Friday was a pleasant one. The three rivers , I cross, were full of shining, peaceful waters and the sky above them was a friendly shade of blue. The sunlight fell gently casting faint shadows.
