...and some catching up....

Since the last entry there has been a lot of things that have occured at 17 Nebraska. Two of the residents, Kylie and I, graduated from the esteemed Warren Wilson College on May 17th. The weekend that surrounded the graduation ceremony was filled with friends and family and a lot of good byes to college mates who have left the nest in order to pursue "careers" or travel to different parts of the world. The graduation ceremony was quite fun with the exception of the speaker who rambled his way through fifteen minutes of tangents that didn't really link up to anything. Later on that night was a gathering of graduates and alumni at 17 Nebraska in which everyone brought beer but was to knackered from the busy weekend to drink whole heartedly. So the fridge was full for about half a week until some one drank most of them.... The weekend ended and left many a graduate wondering "What the hell hanppened?" as they tried to wrap their heads around four years (and some times more) coming to a close. But in order to uphold the Wilson tradition of being "heady dank" and "local" many graduates have moved into different parts of West Asheville. For example, Wee Dan lives about a two minute bicycle ride away and Conor, Mary and Christine live a 7 minute bicycle ride away. So when we get low on sugar we will have good neighbors to borrow some from (even though Ingles is closer... a lot closer).
