Cindy came to visit me in Atlanta last Friday, arriving around 6pm at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. (She has her own horror story to tell of her flight on Spirit Airlines, but I can sum it up in two words, “Never again!”) … Continue reading
Yeah, I missed posting anything yesterday. Cindy and I were busy all day and completely worn out by last night. I’ll post about our weekend together (with photos) plus the nightmare that was going on in the background later in … Continue reading

Last Friday after work, five co-workers and myself got on the MARTA train and rode down to Turner Field to watch the Atlanta Braves take to the field against the Milwaukee Brewers. Even though the braves lost, we had a … Continue reading
Back when my boss and I went to Dialogue in the Dark, we also walked around a bit of what is known as Atlantic Station, a live, work and shop concept that is similar to and familiar to Disney fans … Continue reading
Today was the first day of a 4-day Middle Manager Course offered by my employer. I have actually been a middle manager with them since 2005 and more recently in my new department and position, but this was the first … Continue reading
I slept in, showered, went out to lunch, came back to the hotel and spent the day reading, writing and napping. What a sloth I am. But it felt good to have a nothing day. Thank you for subscribing to … Continue reading
Yesterday I twittered that I got tickets to the Atlanta Braves’ home game Friday night against the Milwaukee Brewers and a few minutes later both the Braves and the Brewers were following me on Twitter. I hate to tell the … Continue reading
Back when the movie with this title came out, I had no idea this was a dish that was considered a delicacy in the south. And I’m FROM the south, lol. Even after discovering what they were, again, thanks to … Continue reading
No, this is NOT about “pillow talk”, but rather the name of an awareness-raising experience that takes the form of “exhibitions” around the world. The only venue in the U.S. is located right here in Atlanta and this past Saturday … Continue reading
While I was in Nashville, TN this past Tuesday, there was a retirement party for one of our departing staff. The party was turned into a chili cook-off and someone evolved the idea further into one in which Mexican sombreros … Continue reading

By way of explanation as to my absence here for the past two days; I lost my Internet connection at the hotel Monday night/Tuesday morning. It would seem to be a problem with my laptop, though checks of all the … Continue reading
What a wonderful ending to an otherwise hectic Saturday. My mother-in-law and father-in-law belong to the Central Florida Rose Society. At their last meeting they portrayed Napoleon (although “portrayed” is probably a generous description of what my father-in-law did, since … Continue reading
Coming out to my car after lunch yesterday my boss and I found a truck parked in the space opposite my car…with a dog at the wheel. I think this was the truck that cut me off in traffic earlier! … Continue reading
