“We are planning on going up to Asheville tomorrow morning and meeting up at Panera Bread on Hendersonville Hwy at 6pm. We'd love it if you would pass that along to any of your Asheville friends.” That message was sent to me a few minutes ago by Ponzi, so I guess this makes it all official. You know, all of it? If you're a blogger, and somewhere in the area of Asheville, then we'll see you tomorrow at 6pm. We've been in North Carolina for the past day or so, having spent yesterday driving all over hell and half of Georgia (er, North and South Carolina) with her mom – then we went to Gastonia to try fixing her father's computers. We hit Charlotte and some surrounding communities. I don't think we'll make it up to Greensboro this time, though – she says it's too far away. Tomorrow, we're doing the Biltmore Mansion – then the meetup in the evening with you. Sound good, y'all?

I must thank Nestle Nutrition for creating nutrition bars that are truly good – both in taste and in contents. PowerBar sets the bar. When I'm away from home, I need to find something good to eat throughout the day. Problem is: 90% of the “health foods” out there aren't very healthy. I refuse to ingest anything (knowingly) with either hydrogenated oil (trans fat) or high fructose corn syrup – which rules out a majority of the readily available snacks on the market. It pisses me off to no end, actually. I tried a PowerBar Triple Threat a few weeks ago and fell in love. At only 220 calories per bar, it lists ingredients that are happily natural. A few minutes ago, I tried my first PowerBar Harvest Whole Grain Strawberry Crunch; check out the ingredients list:
