dating scene wearing skinny jeans and lots of hair product. Thomas, I will have to see this to believe it. Laura Morton Michau reports that her husband, Court, is back from Iraq, and they have enjoyed a wonderful summer in Santa Barbara. Laura has taken up surfing and kite-boarding. Welcome home, Court! Menard Doswell writes that his once perfect haircut has now fallen prey to a significant amount of gray hair and that he thinks he has gotten shorter. Sounds like Texas has made an old man of Menard. As for me, “Shantytowners,” I recently elected to make my annual August move into downtown Asheville. I’ve discovered that Asheville is a great little town full of interesting people watching and unique traffic patterns. The city planning commission must have had a difficult time naming some of the major streets – several of them change names two or three times for no apparent reason. I think the Asheville DMV is perhaps the best people-watching place on earth. I passed a drum circle and a man juggling kittens as I entered the other day. I’m teaching in an arts-integrated elementary school outside of town. Hippies name their kids the darndest things. Most of my students are named after either a constellation or a Creedence Clearwater Revival song. Congratulations to all of you on your new babies and iPhones!

First, Lindsay Wolfington Collins and her husband, Peter, had a baby girl on April 5 and named her Margaret Alicia Collins, but will call her Maggie. She also told me that right before the baby was born she saw Ashley and Rob Seals (also new parents). She has gotten involved in a community chorus at the Songwriting School of Los Angeles, which Rob and Ashley run. Lindsay also got to catch up with Kristen Edwards in L.A. recently. If I recall correctly, Kristen now lives in San Francisco. Bennett White and his wife, Catherine, welcomed Davis Ambrose White on May 23, and he says that everyone is doing great. Young Harrison is adjusting to life as a big brother quite naturally. In other recent arrival news, C.A. Spivey Rountree and Daniel welcomed Kepler Helena Rountree on July 7. And just a few days after that on July 11, Sarah Ravenel Dollens and Grant welcomed Bee Ravenel Dollens to the world. Sarah says that everyone is doing great and that Sallie is a great big sister! Congratulations to all of you! Continuing that theme, both Scott Harris and J.W. Perry are expecting children (not with each other, though). This will be J.W.’s first and Scott’s second. Both
