I remember some things by the date, but not many. Usually I have to look back at a calendar. I was thinking recently how there have been several Christmases that have been unseasonably warm – just like there are times in the winter when we get a week or so of warm weather almost every year. But nowadays whenever it is unseasonable warm in the wintertime, that's scientific evidence for you know what.

The old cut-thru from Piedmont through the old neighborhood to Lenox is long gone. Back in the day we always used to take that back route to Lenox, before it was cut off to build 400. I remember the house on the corner that always had several Corvaires in the driveway, parked under the pines. The last couple of years we've walked though that neighborhood to get to the Peachtree Road Race start line. The neighborhood is very nice.
