Left this morning for Georgia as part of a round-the-southeast trip involving my nephew’s graduation from high school.  While I couldn’t see everyone this trip (I’ll be back for a week in August, so more friends then!), I did get to put together a fun little grouping for a quick dinner-and-drinks at Joe’s on Juniper [...]

The weekend in Atlanta was a quick one, but a fun one.  Down on Friday and back on Sunday. We stayed with Julia in midtown, at her lovely 1920’s apartment on Ponce … what a great place, hardwood floors and all. Loved it. Saturday, because DDDtM was sick, I chose to take the extra ticket [...]

Though I’m always amazed by how much “drama” I can experience when I come to the ATL with Michelle, I’m not surprised by how much fun I can have.  It’s almost like being back home again, for good and ill. Yesterday, Michelle, Shane, Shelby, and I drove from G’Vegas to the ATL and what a [...]

It’s a slighly dreary day today in Atlanta, and dreary days always make me reflective. I’m sitting here, at Caribou Coffee, and listening to k. d. lang belt out the “Theme from The Valley of the Dolls“, and I wonder, when exactly does this merry-go-round stop? Being in Atlanta, as wonderful as it [...]

I’m so embarrassed right now: my flight home, which I thought was this morning at 10:00, well, it’s tomorrow morning at 10:00 … I’m so stupid. How did I screw that up? Oh, well, another day in Atlanta, I suppose. I’d planned to walk to Carribou Coffee and spend a few hours reading, [...]

So one reason for this trip to Atlanta was to attend the super-special b’day party that David was throwing for my dear friend Clay. Clay, you see, turned thirty yesterday. Welcome to the club, honey! David hosted a lovely party at Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant last night, complete with so many beautiful [...]

Lil’ Bucky called out my calves, which are less buttery since the foot injury because they have not spent hours and hours each week on the elliptical, so I thought I’d note a fun thing that happened today. As DDDtM worked his little heart out for a half-day, I spent the morning at Starbucks, [...]

I got an earlier flight and am already safe and sound in Atlanta … Dan (the man) picked me up at the airport and we had a lovely dinner at Apres Diem …. ummm, tomato montrachet … delicious. Now, we’re going to enjoy last night’s “South Park” … good times.

Well, this is fall break weekend and everything came together to get me out of town for the weekend. I’m very excited to be traveling to Atlanta and hanging out with friends for the weekend. A special someone turns the big 3-0 today, I believe, and we’re celebrating his b’day tomorrow night. [...]

When everthing went down with Berto y Bobo, I really didn’t think I’d make it to Winder Pride this year (last year; year before). It was the 5th year, so an important event, replete with party favors to mark the occasion — I had to be there, you know? But how? Well, [...]
