Jay and Ozzy Hit The Road

So, this is cool!  I'm sitting in my van, Pack Square, Asheville, North Carolina, "shitty" computer (as Craig, who gave it to me for free described it, which has worked just fine for the past 4 months), plugged into my power converter, using the City of Asheville Guest wifi, preparing in an hour or so to get onto the street to busk...this is cool!
A friend in New Hampshire, Sophie told me to look up her sister when I got here.  Went to her really nice shop, The Rhetorical Factory, a recycled clothing store, similar to Off The Hanger in Plymouth, in West Asheville, where I met her sister, Bethany and a friend, Phil.  Phil is allowing me to park nights behind his studio on Riverside Drive in Woodfin, NC, just about 5 miles from downtown Asheville.  Spent a restful night there last night and will be there for the week I stay here in Asheville.  Both Bethany and Phil are artists and the little time I have spent with them so far has been very nice.
The trip from Chapel Hill to Asheville was pretty uneventful, and I might even say pretty boring...not much really between the two places.  So far, I like Asheville alot.
I plan to be here for about a week and a half, busking and exploring.  After, I will return to Chapel Hill as I booked a gig at a place called Johnny's Gone Fishin' with Sam and Nadine.  Not sure of the date yet, will be either February 20 or 21.  Not sure after Chapel Hill.  I am kind of being drawn to Plymouth to take care of some business that needs attending to.  So, after Chapel Hill it will be either north to Plymouth or south to Charleston, SC to spend some time with Kathleen and Paul.
Ozzy is great...healthy and happy.  He likes the new bed I made him and all I do at night is say, "Go to bed," he goes, I get comfortable in mine and we are two peas in a pod.
Temperature is moderate, if not warm.  Today should be really nice in the mid 60's.  Looks like almost anything is better than what I left in NH.  I keep watching the weather and winter seems cold and relentless up there.  Glad to be out of it...
I posted a mid-week note here at the blog.  So, if you haven't read it, please do.
