Today’s photo of the night sky over Greensboro is not exactly prizewinning, but it evokes that feeling of night rolling in. Taken facing the western sky, the light in the middle is a plane approaching Piedmont Triad International Airport. That little patch of blue in the center is holding on, as the dark silhouette around the edges grows pushing the light beyond the horizon.

Weekends can be so hard to let go of, especially as the weather warms up. North Carolinians have a big tradition of going to the beach or heading to the mountains for mini-getaway weekends. Since Greensboro in located on I-40, the east/west road that runs the entire length of the North Carolina, and Greensboro is in the middle of the state, local residents have so many options for weekend-get aways. Then again, sometimes, just staying put in Greensboro can be the best way of all to rest and rejuvenate.

Goodbye, Sunday; hello, Monday!
