Another day, another Top 10 list entry for the Triangle. This one’s not so flattering, but having lived here all my life and visited a few other places, I can’t say I disagree.
“Anything else is always something better.”
Just in case you needed more proof that podcasting is a thing, take note that a sitting President sat down for a chat with with Marc Maron … in Marc’s garage. What an incredible day for Marc, and a great day for podcasting, too. You can check out the episode on iTunes, WTF’s website, or download it to your favorite podcast app.

When I first started buying locally roasted coffee, the first local roaster I got into was Muddy Dog Roasting Company in nearby Morrisville, NC. They are a smaller, family owned and operated roaster that sells direct to the public out of their small shop. Recently, they announced a new Kickstarter project to help them finish their planned expansion into vacant adjacent space that they’ve already purchased. The new space will house their roasting and packaging equipment, while the new space will offer a customer training area and a small cafe. Check out the Kickstarter page and seriously consider contributing to the project. Even if you don’t buy their coffee yourself (though you really should), if you’re a coffee lover and you like to support local businesses, this is a great way to show your support and help a viable business (they’ve been around since 2006) continue to grow in this community.
“The University of North Carolina is fortunate to have Roy Williams directing its basketball program, and we are proud to extend his contract through the 2020 season,” Cunningham said in a statement. “His results on the court over 27 years as a head coach are among the most accomplished in the history of the sport, but his love for the University of North Carolina and the way he cares for his students are truly unmatched. Roy is a man of character and integrity, and I have great respect for the way he leads our basketball program.”
Right on, Bubba.
Fans will be fans and every fanbase is essentially the same, but all of this nonsense about the game passing Roy by or he can’t get the guy anymore is pure rubbish. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but daggumit, go get yourself another ring, Roy.
From WRAL’s Out and About section:
The [flip-flop run] was organized by the nOg Run Club, which hosted an after-party at Tir na nOg while they awaited certification from the Guinness Book of World Records.
At this point I’m wondering if a book of failed Guinness World Record attempts would be shorter than a book of successes.
“The end of the day has a way of convincing you what you’ve done is good. The next morning has a way of telling the you truth.”
“We have traveled down a long road to get here today but it has been a journey well worth taking.”
“Whisky is complex, nuanced, and rewards a sense of considered exploration.”
