ah! common mistake. it should have been “we’re on to winston-salem,” as wake forest university is there, and not wake forest, n.c., which is 100-plus miles east of winston-salem

A small joy is that the trees around us are hitting peak color and the sun is out so I had a nice drive in to work today
