  • Tin Roof, Revisited

    Wow. Somebody else noticed my post from last week, the one about Ye Olde Love Shackke of Johns Creek. The very man himself. Mr Cornetta left a comment, too. A lengthy one, including a quote from a Supreme Court Justice. Cornetta’s also stated his position at one of the numerous AJC blogs. The other responses…

  • ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas …

    The Night Before … Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. … and over there on the couch, Neither creature was stirring, Except maybe Daeva … Who always seems to know psychically when a camera of any kind is trained upon her furry person. Her brother, on the other hand, could sleep through anything. And so, we have…

  • Tin Roof, Busted.

    Sorry. Cheap reference. But I felt compelled … It would appear that a feared spectre of wickedness has been shooed away from our newly-established city of Johns Creek.

  • A Long Weekend, An Even Longer Post

    Four days before you can think to wink. Twelfth Night opened on Friday night. Eliminated were any concerns about the degree of dedication to be found in our actors.

  • Little Details

    So let me tell you about my day. We’re heading north this afternoon, going to visit my folks and spend the weekend in and around Chattanooga. We are meeting friends from Nashville and as I will be serving as something like a tour guide, I figured this a good enough excuse as any to have…

  • Too Hot To Do Anything But Listen

    John Lemley‘s unnecessary reaffirmations of Atlanta’s high local temperature aside, it is incredibly hot. Outside, I mean. Really. Nikki and I stepped out just this afternoon to do a some work in the lawn. She set about the removal of leaves. I had about a dozen seed potatoes to inter.* It wasn’t long until my…

  • Nintendo Power

    Double DS Lites Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. We planned. We saved. We purchased. And it took some doing. Our local Circuit City was fresh out of the little gems. So was Best Buy.
