Get Fit and Then Get a Date

Date May 27, 2008

Alison and I went out Saturday (we’ll write about that too, I promise) but I took these two photos while driving to and from our outing.  In one evening, we found where to get fit and where to call if we we were alone and tired of it. Enjoy.

Looking for a New Mexican Restaurant?

Date May 23, 2008

Well, if you are, then get ready for this one. Opening the first week of June by Kristen and Michael Benoit of The Vortex Bar and Grill fame, this Mexican restaurant is going to kick some butt. Touted as an authentic Mexican eatery, the Bone Garden Cantina is inside the Lumber Yard Complex […]

Bigleaf Magnolia In Cabbagetown!

Date May 21, 2008

My friend, Arty Schronce, is a plant enthusiast and one I admire greatly because he knows so darn much about native plants and flowers. He works for the Georgia Department of Agriculture and is a great guy. He and a group of other plant folks rescued a bigleaf magnolia (Magnolia macrophylla) from […]

Now, Congratulations To Atlanta!

Date May 14, 2008

Congratulations Georgia Lawmakers!

Date May 7, 2008

Something has actually been passed and signed into law during this legislative year. I know it is hard to believe and you will be surprised to know it is a major law- one that will affect health care, poverty, and education…Yes, I am talking about the law just passed to ban retailers from […]

I Love These Emails

Date May 6, 2008

Have you really ever read a full one of these poorly written emails about someone dying in a plane crash and leaving the bank with 10 million dollars? They are interesting scams that started years ago and are still going on. I thought I would post one I got today. Read […]

Recycling Dog Poop

Date May 6, 2008

I’m sitting here listening to NPR this morning in my pajamas.  There is a piece on recycling waste across the world and making bio-fuels.  I am wondering why we can’t recycle dog poop.  Does anyone know of a place who actually uses poop for anything?  It is a thought.  Maybe one day we could start […]
