Georgia Marathon
Tomorrow I run the Georgia Marathon. The course map is here (pdf) if you want to come cheer me on. You can figure I’ll cross the start line around 7:10 AM and be maintaining a 12:00 per mile pace (more on that in a second). So, if you happen to be at any location on …
Sam and Ben Came to Visit!
Jenn’s cousin Sam and her husband Ben were driving from Tucson to Washington D.C. on their way back to their cushy government cubicles. They stopped by and we showed them the town ((for some values of “the town”)). The flickr set can be found here.
Atlanta Snowpocalypse
This town goes a bit nuts when snow hits. Or is likely to hit. Or is projected to be within 100 miles. I like to call it the French Toastpocalypse because a good segment of the population runs out and buys eggs, milk, and bread. Some may say this is hyperbole, but as evidence I …

Last night I attended The Night of Astounding Peculiarities at Lenny’s Bar in Atlanta.

Extensive Homeless Dwelling
Last Tuesday, my father and I attended a Braves game here in Atlanta. My normal parking spot is at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers which is a bit of a walk, and on the other side of I-75/85 from the stadium. As we were walking under the bridge to get to the park, I …
Snow in the South
It’s a huge deal when snow hits Atlanta. North Georgia gets its fair share, but not so much in the metro area.

Apparently, the bank that was robbed slipped a tracking device into the money that was stolen, allowing the police to locate the perpetrator’s position on I-75. Unfortunately, despite the heartache and congestion caused …
