> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > I’ve been to Mount Pisgah, NC. A nice easy little hike to the top. I’ve been through Bat Cave, NC where they have the Bat Cave Baptist Church. Been through Erect, NC which is not far from Climax, NC on a school trip. This prompted us to ask the professor how long it takes to get from Erect to Climax. He wisely told us that it was not how long the trip took, but that all parties involved arrived together. This is the Pisgah I know about. Haven’t actually been there, just _by_ there on the highway to Asheville. But I have had a meal at [http://pisgahinn.com/](http://pisgahinn.com/) which has one spectacular view! ---

man, isn’t it Firday yet?? I did manage to get my corrections done and uploaded before noon, so there’s that. Plus my boss does have something for me to do involving ports - that’s a big YAY! I find studying ports fascinating. There’s an idiot at work who claims dogs are vegetarian. Her vet told her so. Well, of course, because dogs have teeth just like bunnies… :rolleyes: I’m surrounded by idiots. I think I’m doing chickie with noodles for supper, carrots and maybe corn on the side. Then I’ll knit till I fall asleep. Party on… _zzzzzzzzzz_ ---

Can anyone explain to me why, when covering the same event, a newspaper had a [video clip](http://www.charlotteobserver.com/420/index.html?media_id=19051377) on their website, and a TV station had a [photo slideshow](http://www.wcnc.com/news/slideshows/Renaissance-Festival-Performance-in-Uptown-104515049.html?gallery=y&c=y&ref=%2F)? Faire (heh!) warning - the video self-starts and has singing. ---

I am so wound up. We had a combined rehearsal with a chorus that’s about the same size as us - we sang for each other, we sang together, we learned some tags, then we ate. 🙂 I am too buzzed to go to sleep! ---
