Lunch yesterday at Politan Row, a food court at The Forum in Peachtree Corners. Tagged along with Leo and Daniel. Lots of choices: Thai, Mediterranean, Korean Fried Chicken, Mexican, Greek. I had a Buzzin Burger. There’s also a Politan Row in Colony Square and next to the Perimeter Mall Target. Might take Ceil to look around. Not the greatest thing, but worth a look. The website was nicer than the actual place.
For years and years my annual work calendar has been the At A Glance monthly calendar, stock #70-260. In addition to marking future events, I would write down short notes with the highlights from each day. I’d add football schedules, the monthly Braves schedule, and tape stickers and other interesting pictures and items cut from magazines and newspapers. Been making these scrapbook calendars for 40 years, kinda the story of my life. I’ve moved my calendars into my home office, all lined up on a bookcase. When I want to check back to see what I was doing on a particular day, the calendars are there for the checking (I can also check my blog, that dates back over 20 years). A couple years ago I went back and listed every sporting event I ever attended, using my scrapbook calendars as a guide. Each year I’d get a new calendar at work, and write and tape and add stickers throughout the year. My 2025 calendar is almost all filled in. Not sure if I’ll be able to get a 2026 calendar from work. If not I’ll spring for the $28 bucks to buy my own. Here’s what August looked like.
November twenty years ago: I was painting sections of the playhouse that Jim Volyles helped me erect in our back yard. I was collecting yellow Wendys cups to earn five round trip flights. That next summer we used them for our family vacation to San Francisco.
In 2005 Reggie Ball was the GT QB. DJ Shockley was at UGA. Charlie Whitehurst at Clemson. Vince Young at Texas. Matt Leinart at USC.
Every month my employer has us take a training module. Some we have to take once a year. The training website had 15 minute recaps of various books. I need to start listening to one recap a day. First up: The Art of Public Speaking, by Dale Carnegie. From 1915. Kinda old school, I know.
Johnson Ferry released photos from the fire damage to the chapel building. They say they’re not tearing it down to build the new worship center, but we’ll see. A restaurant a half mile down the road suffered an even more extensive fire.
Ever been to Ponko Chicken? Pretty good. There’s one on Roswell Road near Wieuca, as well as in downtown Alpharetta. Ate there on Friday night.
Hate it that Tech has renamed Grant Field as Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field. I’m still calling it Grant Field. Hope there's no curse on the Jackets for changing the name.
Saturday morning on the SEC Network between 9 & 10 am Marty & McGee are running a special interview with Gunner Stockton, riding around campus is his old pickup. Must see TV.
This afternoon there’s a grand re-opening party at High Country Outfitters where Anna works, on Roswell Road just past the Piedmont Road intersection, north of Superica. C went. Anna worked it. Last night I drove her to Costco and Avalon.
