Friday I frantically tried to get my desk cleaned off before leaving for the week. Around 4:30 an old college roommate forwarded a prayer request…another college roommate’s wife has breast cancer. They live in Houston, and Lisa will be treated at the same hospital as Brantley. Lisa grew up in Dekalb County attending First Baptist, and could very well know Andy.
Sunday morning after Kidstuf we had to backtrack to the Attic. Sandra Stanley was manning the information desk, so I asked her if she knew Lisa from her FBC days. Sandra is younger, and didn’t get to Tech until 1986, but she said Andy may know her.
Saturday’s practice went well…hopefully we’re continuing to get each player lots of reps. We also worked on cutoffs, etc. and each pitcher got to throw again. Hopefully we can have our first practice game next Saturday. Afterwards Will stuck around and practiced with the Colt team while I hustled over to Matthew’s practice.
Saturday night Ceil and I drove down West Paces Ferry to Buckhead. Peachtree was bumper to bumper at least all the way from Lenox down through Pharr Road. Cars were ignoring stoplights…this at 7:30 pm. Lenox was jammed with people as well. We remembered the days 15 years ago when we could quickly scoot over to Lenox from our Morningside house without much traffic, and the mall would be quiet. We ate at the Lenox Mick’s at lot in those days.
To avoid traffic I headed south on Lenox Road, bypassed Sidney Marcus, and took Lindbergh across Piedmont. Then I made a left and went through Peachtree Hills, driving past Ceil’s first apartment in Atlanta. She wanted to eat at Jaliscos, and at 8:45 the crowd was just starting to lighten.
