My wife and I went out Saturday night with my son Tristan and his wife Christine to downtown Greensboro for a little pizza and a nice walk. It was a beautiful evening and we walked the whole of Elm Street. Times have really changed. Twenty years ago the downtown area of Greensboro on a weekend would have been a ghost town. Now, it has become a safe, vibrant place with busy shops and restaurants and people strolling. Quite enjoyable.

My posts this week have been from our trip up to New Hampshire to see my son Devin who is entering graduate school at Dartmouth College. Like most students in this day and time, he’s having to figure out how to finance his education and live. So, for the time being, he’s working at a food co-op in Hanover. He’s enjoying his experience and he likes the people he works with. Just one ironic note. They’ve placed him in charge of the beer aisle, and unlike most college students, he doesn’t drink.

We took a day last week on our trip to Hanover, New Hampshire to head across the Connecticut River into Vermont and visit the little town of Woodstock (not the one in New York with the concert). It’s a beautiful little town that simply reeks with Americana, and is filled with 19th century buildings that are well kept and gorgeous. We visited on a Wednesday and caught the weekly farmer’s market going on in the town green.
