*Went here; had a blast;

*Read this; probably the best biography I’ve ever read;

*Vanity Fair’s James Wolcott says the right-wing blogosphere is floundering;

*Another suicide off a parking deck in downtown Gboro;

*The Rhino’s John Hammer says going out of business is a lot of work;

*Looks like another marathon Greensboro City Council meeting last week; sorry I missed it;

*Totally missed the death of former Gov. Jim Holshouser; remember vividly the morning after the 1972 election when my parents expressed shock that he’d beaten Skipper Bowles;

*High Point’s Main Street might go on a diet.

That’s it for now. Good to be back.
