His adventures lead him into the world of the wealthy and dissipated yachtsmen who throng the region and involve him in a stran ge and unlikely love affair.*\n\n*In this harshly realistic\, yet oddly te nder and wise novel\, Hemingway perceptively delineates the personal strug gles of both the "haves" and the "have nots" and creates one of the most s ubtle and moving portraits of a love affair in his oeuvre. By turns funny and tragic\, lively and poetic\, remarkable in its emotional impact\, To H ave and Have Not is literary high adventure at its finest.*\n\n\\-\\-\\-\\ -\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\ \-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\- \\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\ -\n\n**Welcome to our monthly Book Club!** We’re a small\, friendly grou p that gets together for fun\, thoughtful conversations about a different book each month.\n\nFinished the whole book?

Everyone has a chance to jump in\, share their thoughts\, and explore the book’s characters\, themes\, writing\, and bigger ideas. \n\nYou definitely don’t need to be a literary expert.

And these folks take their cocktails seriously. They use fresh ingr edients and make their own bitters\, tinctures\, infusions\, syrups and sh rubs in-house.\n\nIf whiskey is more your thing\, you're in good hands the re too. They have an impressive whiskey collection and bartenders who actu ally know what they're pouring.\n\nAnd then there's the quirky little Top of the Monk tradition. Order a cocktail and you may receive a small key th at unlocks one of their old post-office-box-style snack cubbies. You'll ju st have to come see what that's all about. 😉\n\n**What to Expect**\n** 🍸** Really good handcrafted cocktails\n🥃 Plenty of options for the w hiskey lovers\n🌄 Rooftop views over downtown and toward the mountains\n ☀️ One more gorgeous summer evening outside\n😂 Easy conversation\, laughs and the usual Classy Cocktails crew\n😊 New faces are always welc ome\n\nWe're keeping this one simple. Good people. Good drinks. A rooftop. A late-summer evening. Nowhere else you need to be for a couple of hours. \n\n**Parking**\nThere are several paid parking lots around Top of the Mon k\, including parking directly behind it. The parking structure behind it\ , however\, is only $1 an hour\, so you shouldn't have to sacrifice your c ocktail budget just to park your car. 😉\n\nCome quench your thirst as w e squeeze one more rooftop Classy Cocktails evening out of the summer. See you at the Top! 🍸🌄 LAST-MODIFIED:20260829T221527Z URL:https://www.meetup.com/avl-digital-nomads/events/316162267/ X-SOURCE-NAME:AVL Digital Nomads END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Manifesting Self DTSTART:20260924T220000Z DTEND:20260925T000000Z DTSTAMP:20260830T064554Z UID:event_316334348@meetup.com CATEGORIES:tech DESCRIPTION:AVL Digital Nomads\n**Location Change:**\n**Disclaimer: In all efforts to keep this Meetup a safe space\, we all agree to keep anything said within the group private and confidential.**\n\nDo you want to take y our remote working game to the next level?

Food. 😁\n\nSo\, I ’m officially launching the Asheville Foodie Supper Club\, a monthly cul inary adventure where a small group of us will gather around a table\, exp lore Asheville’s ridiculously good food scene\, and actually have time t o get to know one another.\n\nWe’re kicking this thing off with Italian. 🇮🇹🍝🍷\n\nOur first stop is Strada Italiano in downtown Ashevil le\, a cozy Old World-style trattoria serving regional Italian cuisine ins pired by both Northern and Southern Italy. Think house-made pasta\, risott o\, seafood\, Italian classics\, good wine\, and the kind of food that mak es you very happy you did not stay home and eat something responsible. 😆\n\nEach month\, we’ll choose a different foodie theme. Italian one month\, Korean another\, Thai\, Indian\, Mexican\, burgers\, pizza\, seafo od\, Mediterranean\, tapas\, and whatever other interesting culinary rabbi t holes we decide to wander down.\n\nBut the food is only half the idea. T he real purpose of the Asheville Foodie Supper Club is to create a differe nt kind of social experience.\n\nInstead of standing around at a larger ev ent having snippets of conversations with 20 different people\, we’ll si t around one table with just 8 to 12 of us. We’ll eat. We’ll talk. We ’ll laugh. We’ll hear each other’s stories. We’ll linger over dinn er and hopefully turn some of those people we recognize from Meetup into p eople we actually know.\n\nThe intention of this event is to meet interest ing people\, discover really good food and local restaurants\, and enjoy c onversations that have enough time to go somewhere.\n\n🍷 A Little Suppe r Club Fine Print\n\nThis event is intentionally limited to 12 people\, an d unlike some of our larger gatherings\, this one requires an actual resta urant reservation.\n\nSo please only RSVP if you genuinely intend to come. Don’t grab one of the 12 seats as a “maybe.” If something changes\, no problem\, just update your RSVP as soon as possible so someone on the waitlist has a chance to join us.\n\nBecause when there are only 12 chairs at the table\, every chair matters.\n\nStrada also offers a nice range of gluten-free\, vegetarian\, vegan and dairy-free options\, so our first Fo odie adventure should have something for just about everyone.\n\nCome hung ry and ready to connect with some fun and friendly new humans over a yummy meal together.\n\nWelcome to the Asheville Foodie Supper Club.

Her reputation as a crank and a recluse is amplified by her not-so-secret preference for the company of animals over humans. Then a neighbor\, Big Foot\, turns up dead. Soon other bodies are discovered\, in increasingly strange circumsta nces. As suspicions mount\, Janina inserts herself into the investigation\ , certain that she knows whodunit. If only anyone would pay her mind . . . *\n\n*A deeply satisfying thriller cum fairy tale\, Drive Your Plow over t he Bones of the Dead is a provocative exploration of the murky borderland between sanity and madness\, justice and tradition\, autonomy and fate.

One day he was a doctor treating the dying\, and the next he was a patient struggl ing to live. And just like that\, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformatio n from a naïve medical student “possessed\,” as he wrote\, “by the question of what\, given that all organisms die\, makes a virtuous and mea ningful life” into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain\, the most critical place for human identity\, and finally into a patient and n ew father confronting his own mortality.*\n\n*What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future\, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life\, flattens out into a perpetual present? What d oes it mean to have a child\, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundl y moving\, exquisitely observed memoir.*\n\n*Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015\, while working on this book\, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. “I began to realize that coming face to face with my ow n mortality\, in a sense\, had changed nothing and everything\,” he wrot e. “Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: ‘I can ’t go on. I’ll go on.’” When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettabl e\, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient\, from a brilliant writer who beca me both.*\n\n\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\ \-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\- \\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\ -\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\n\n**Welcome to our monthly Book Club!** We’re a small\, friendly group that gets together for fun\, thoughtful conversa tions about a different book each month.\n\nFinished the whole book?
