The Watch List

Okay. This is the second time in a row that I have not been able to check in online for a flight from Atlanta. In June, when we went to Chicago, I had to see an agent for check in. The agent told me I was on the watch list. However, flying back to Atlanta, I had no problem checking in online. Today, I was trying to check in online and no go. All my anti-administration rantings over the years have finally caught up with me. Most likely, it's entirely random. Or, maybe not. Doesn't the X-Files start this weekend. They are out there.

Oh, Lucinda was her fabulous wild artistic self. More later unless I am in Gitmo! Where I am sure they don't have wireless.

LUCINDA!

My birthday week continues. Tonight we are going to see Lucinda Williams at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I have been waiting months for this. Tomorrow we leave for Las Vegas for the launch of our rug collection. I'll post from there so you can all order a rug! Just kidding, sort of.

Crappy Canton - Film at 11

Not What You Want...

We arrived home from dinner Tuesday night to find a 20 ft limb sticking out of our kitchen roof. I scrambled up on the roof in the dark to check for damage. We have many flashlights but none work. Anyway, I got a tarp over it and there was no internal damage. Our wonderful handyman, Steve Ward, drove up from Alabama today to fix it. So, all is well. That's the third limb in a year to crash through the roof. You would think we would tire of our tree hugger feelings, but no.

Every Dog Has Its Day...

Henry is today's Daily Puppy. It is exciting to submit something like that and be chosen. He's hard to photograph because he never stands still. He wants to be as close to his humans as possible, which means right at my feet when I'm trying to take his picture. That day I managed to get some good ones and it paid off. That's all the exciting news from the Storm house...

More Colbert Crap!

Stephen Colbert is Crappy!

Well, we were sitting here watching The Colbert Report last night after the Planning & Zoning fiasco, when we heard Stephen Colbert list a series of cities which included Canton - followed by "not the crappy one in Georgia, the one in Ohio!" Well, needless to say, we were a little shocked! Of course, I seized the opportunity to try to get Colbert to attend our next HCHA mint julep party so we can raise more money! Check out the thread on The Colbert Report blog and join in the fun! Help us defend the honor and dignity of our crappy little town!

My Birthday Weekend

Thanks for all the birthday greetings. I had a great weekend capped off by a 4 hour planning and zoning meeting today. Saturday, we went to Bachanalia clearly the best restaurant in Atlanta and one of the best in the U.S. Impeccable is The best word to describe it. We spent both Saturday and Sunday in the pool. It's in the 90's here, the water is in the 80's so it was very nice.

Today, there was a public hearing on a proposal to annex 900 acres into the city. The whole project would double the number of residences in the city. Now, it's a 20 year build out, but we already have an inventory of 8,000 available lots to be built upon. Oy Vey! Anyway, I voted against it. The vote was 4 pro 3 against. Well, the developers won't like me, but most of the citizens will. I'll sleep better with that support.

Again, thanks for the birthday greetings. That Tatum sure knows what to wear.
