Today, and this year, began in Downtown Durham. It's a funny old city, excessively hip in parts, and terrifying in others, which is not a bad mix for a big city. The stroke of midnight itself was spent in the company of my brother and the bearded hipsters of a steam factory turned brewery. (Ugh so hip. So scary.) My brother's place is on the outskirts of the scary part, very nice though. He's part of an outreach program that pairs special needs but independent adults with people their age to help them incorporate into the social world. He and another roommate help take care of a guy named Jeff, although all of them were currently out of town. He had good stories about that though, and it was nice to get a chance to see some of his home turf.
Then mostly driving. The North Georgia mountains are beautiful, but most of the drive was quiet, through Carolina. I'm looking forward to going south through some of the passes tomorrow.
