"A" is for Allergies

We woke today in one of the beautiful rooms of the Manor House at Montreat College in Black Mountain NC, just outside of Asheville...
They've been in a drought here, so there are water restrictions in place and everyone's allergies are going crazy. We went out for a jog around Black Mountain (a cozy tourist town) but had to confine ourselves to the indoors for the rest of the day. (And by "we" I mean me. Tasha... The one my allergist described this way: "Well, you are a very, very allergic person." That was following my last test, when the ragweed test blew up as big as my lower arm. Nice.)

But the Black Mountain and Montreat areas are undeniably beautiful, and we were so glad to have a day to take in the scenery, if not through windows. :) We played a students-only show at Montreat College tonight with Kyler, which was a great time... It's such a beautiful campus, and always such kind students. Special thanks to Josh Weeks, Jim Dahlin, and Daniel Bennett for making that come together so wonderfully --
