Winston interlude

Despite no-fun November (papers and projects, anyone?), I was able to sneak away to North Carolina last weekend: one of my housemates was going to visit family and was looking for someone to help with the driving, so I signed up for a change of scenery.  It was relaxing and fun -- between the fall colors, silly talks, live music, thrift scores, yummy food, friendly dogs, and amazingly warm hospitality, a good time was had by all.
