Hey guess what?

I'm here. In Atlanta. Alive. The flight was on time and uneventful. And I went to Junkman's Daughter and bought some smurfs, and kungfoogirl gave me a Ramones tin lunch box, and I went to eat lunch at this place where I walked through a skull (The Vortex), and I saw a junior high school (and gymnasium) converted into the coolest movie-style apartments, and we hung out and goofed around with mightywombat, and the Indigo Girls were really amazing in a beautiful outdoor auditorium full of picnics and candles, and I took a nappy on xanthe42's bed, and then I was overwhelmed by the combined cuteness of salomes_pimp and avanthard, and then stayed up late chatting with 'stina. 5:30am to 3:30am. 22 HOURS OF FUN!

All in all, I'd say Friday was a pretty damned good day. Sorry I wasn't able to go out to dinner with you, crena. We'll have to go out when I get back.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend!

In which our hero eats soul food, and explores woods and beds.

And here it is. Saturday. After waking up late (for me - around 10:30am) (note to self - make sure 'stina shuts off that 5am alarm!), kungfoogirl and I headed to Marietta to catch lunch with awl. I didn't want to eat anywhere that I could eat at home, and I particularly wanted somethign Southern, so we went to this restaurant called Folks. I proceeded to have a lovely mix of chicken fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, red beans and rice, a biscuit, and sweet tea. Mmmm. We headed back to Allen's, where the Big Stud^TM managed to score two girls in his bed at one time. HOTT. I introduced them to geocaching. We found the easy cache, but stopped halfway through the more difficult multi cache, because none of us was really dressed for steep slopes of soft ground and the tree cover made the e-trex cranky. Still, I think I hooked them both onto a new hobby. In the process, 'stina acquired some Play Doh and I took a pair of bright orange swimming goggles in honor of pattisimmons.

happy2beso should have touched down here by now. I don't know if we're seeing her tonight, but I think we're having brunch tomorrow. YAY! Tonight, I do believe the plan (Stan) is to hit My Sister's Room to mack on grrlies.

Soul Food. Allen. Geocaching. Fairly good hiking workout (in the new Jesus jogger sandals, even - not quite hiking shoes). A quart of Powerade. Back at the ranch with 'stina and kayt. All told, a very successful vacation.

Get out the map, get out the map and lay your finger anywhere down. We'll leave the figuring to those we pass on the way out of town.
