Life’s Occasional Pageant
02-25-06_1148.jpg Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. Everybody wins today. (North Point Mall. Around noon. A beauty pageant for children aged 1 to I’m just not sure. The kid on stage, he’s a one-year old winner. After I took the photo, I heard the cheery announcer-lady sing-songing in his general direction. “Great job! We look forward to…

It’s Not MARTA
It’s Not MARTA Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. I am such a dork.

I thought about this possibility…

2 More Shopping Days
Odd. I take the day off and still this post doesn’t see light until way after 5pm. Of course, I spent a great deal of the day out among my fellow Americans. I wouldn’t call what I was doing “last minute shopping” — I’m pretty good at the gift-getting thing — but rather, exploratory erranding.…

6 More Shopping Days
Six days out and the local weatherfolk are already giving us the meteorological thumbs down on a potentially snow-covered holiday in Atlanta and surrounding. This shouldn’t and doesn’t surprise us. We’re used to getting our official winters later. The last big blizzard that everyone remembers happened in March of 1993, if that says anything. What…
