As Mark heads to Knoxville ahead of us, I am left behind to wrap things up. I will be here another couple of months, but I have already begun to ponder what I will miss. (Yes, it is part of the grieving process, the eventual journey to acceptance.) So here is a list of the familiar things that I will miss. This is not an exhaustive list, but only what I have noted so far.
* Familiar voices on favorite radio stations
* Friday dinner at Apollo Flame restaurant where Chris treats us right
* Reynolda House and the Reynolda Mile, especially in autumn
* The winding streets of West End
* The energy of Fourth Street
* The sweet granny greeter at Wal-Mart
* Dairi-O
* Old Salem
* K&W Cafeteria
* Cheerwine
* Dash games and fireworks
