Old flashbacks die hard
During the recent Greensboro-Guilford County elected official dinner at the swanky O.Henry, the gathered did their usual self-introductions.
They even had the reporters 'fess up. 'Scoop reluctantly agreed, even though it totally blew our cover. We stopped wearing the fedora with the "Press" card years ago.
Well, toward the end of the 20-or-so politicos and county staffers' introductions, Greensboro Councilman Mike Barber made a funny.
"I'm Mike Barber, at large county commissioner," said the commissioner-turned-councilman.
To that, Mayor Yvonne Johnson jabber her thumb at the door.
"Get out," she joked.
"Sorry," Barber chuckled, "had a little flashback there."
They were serving wine at the event, and while nobody got out of hand, we'd like to know of any special spices they used on the roast. Or maybe it was the mushrooms on the salad?

So then it's official? Mike doesn't have a clue where he is? Or what he's doing?
