On last evening, a rainy Wednesday, we made it out to an old favorite activity, bar trivia at Grey’s Tavern in Greensboro. It’s in the middle.
It’s shown here in August of last year, a bit of a nod to Throwback Thursday, the wonderful Instagram/Facebook tradition where you trot out your old, sometimes embarrassing pictures for the world to see. There wasn’t much embarrassing last night, as Kristen enjoyed a couple trivia rounds, watching a Washington Nationals victory in 14 innings (8-5, series finale, still #1 in the NL, gotta pick somebody’s team when you don’t have your own ;)) and a Serena Slam, making her 19-0 for the US Open. Kristen also wishes her tennis game was up to par. However, what is up to par is this little roundup of North Carolina news, which we are getting started right here and right now:
