Many thanks to all who attended last night’s Rooftop Poets literary salon at the Roof Garden Ballroom of the Battery Park Hotel!

Poet’s on the Roof: A Literary Salon
You are invited to a literary salon at the Roof Garden of the historic Battery Park Hotel. Whether you dabble in poetry or prose or you’re a published poet or writer or maybe you just love art and books; join the Rooftop Poets for a stimulating evening of literature, music and conversation.
Come prepared to participate in engaging dialogue about art, books, literature and life. Discussions will be lead by Barbara Gravelle, Matt Mulder and Brian Sneeden. Please bring work by someone you admire or something you’ve written to share at the salon.
Snacks and hors d’oeuvres will be provided, along with music by Mattick Frick and the Bloodroot Orkaestarr.

Design: bookshelf/nightstand
Apartment Therapy has a pretty decent project for turning an old drawer into a new bookshelf/nightstand. But like my old stand, you still can’t hide much in it.

#avl #avlwx #avlsnomg At 6AM I realized I wasn’t going to make it out of the snomaghetto. May not look like it but that’s a 10% grade slope.

#avlsnomg Of all the stores closed on Tunnel Road, yesterday, both IHOP and Cook Out were open for business.
I may have ‘O.D.ed on twitter this weekend’ and need to unplug for awhile.
I am taking a 30-day spiritual retreat and a sabbatical from social media.

#avlsnomg #avlwx Frank’s Pizza was open on Monday. According to Ray’s Weather, it’s supposed to hit 41°F today. Yesterday’s snow will be a memory.

#avlsnomg As @ashevegas stated yesterday, I overdosed on Twitter as the Christmas Day winter storm dumped almost a foot of snow on Asheville.

A morning walk the day after Christmas and all is quiet except the chatter of a couple cardinals in a holly tree. #avlsnomg

Day after Christmas. Snowfall measures just under nine inches. Locals used impassable streets as sled runs. #avlsnomg

Excellent day for a game or two of chess. (via enpasant: Die schachpartie: Max Oppenheimer)

Snow covered barn.

Snow covered limbs along the creek side.

This afternoon I took a walk in the snow. It is over 6 inches deep at 6 p.m. and still coming down. #avlxmas #avlnews #avlsnomg
