Where, you say? Well, so did I. It's about 40 miles from Asheville right on I-40. The mountains are not that far away, as you can see from the picture below: [caption id="attachment_470" ... http://blogger.kurtehlert.com/?p=469 I have traditionally thought the elitist clubs that ban cellphones on their courses were too stuck-up for their own good.

As a doctor, I'm biased, because it is often very difficult to go to a course without a ... http://blogger.kurtehlert.com/?p=467 Love the latest post by Ryan Ballangee of Waggle Room. Take a read. http://blogger.kurtehlert.com/?p=458 We went to the USA Baseball Complex here in Cary last night with our good friends the Coopers and the Stokes to watch the World Cup USA team take on Canada. In baseball, not curling or hockey. It was a lot of fun.

I would love to say the stampede of popular opinion has forced me to write again, but, in reality, no one seems to have noticed. I have, occasionally, missed it.
