Asheville City Councilman Carl Mumpower, who works as a psychologist here in Asheville, is quoted on Oprah.com today in an online article about energy boosters and busters.

The longer you’re bored, the less energy you have and the more likely that this temporary feeling can become permanent, he says.

I never thought I’d be writing the names “Mumpower” and “Oprah” in the same sentence, but here you go.
