The end of May, 2008. Hooray?!?!

I am compelled to write a blog today. Today is the day upon which Samuel Pepys ended his ten year diary. We heard that information earlier this afternoon and Kate asked me if I was supposed to end this blog today. I explained to her that Samuel Pepys kept his diary for ten years. So, since I began this diary last year, I still have nine years to go before I can say I kept up with Sam.

Of course, the title of my blog informs you that Samuel Pepys has only length on my now. So, at this point, Sam is only nine years ahead of me. I guess the real question is whether I have the stamina to keep up with my blog for as long as Sam. We shall see.

I am hopeful that some interesting things will occur while I am writing this blog. Pepys got to write about the burning of London and the resurgence of same under Christopher Wren. There were other things that happened in London during that time frame and I can't say that I have included everything that has happened in Atlanta while I have been writing this blog. But I still have time.

I can't think of too much that has happened in Atlanta during the time I have been writing which has not been remarked upon in my blogs. I guess I might not have mentioned the tornado which hit downtown Atlanta during the SEC basketball tournament. That was interesting. They had to move the tournament to Georgia Tech and many skyscrapers in Atlanta still have glass to be replaced. The best part of the tournament turned out to be when Georgia won the tournament as underdogs. I really think the tournament victory saved the job of the coach. He will live to see another year. Maybe he can turn the program around now.

The Hawks did well this year. If they had had home court advantage over Boston, I believe they would have upset the Celtics. Of course, that was not to be. Now the Celtics will play the Lakers for the championship.

I am glad Kate is going to eat lunch with Rev. Dalstrom on Tuesday. I hope it doesn't get in the way of Foreclosure Day duties.

It is a warm sunny day in Dunwoody and we are spending the night at Mom and Dad's home. Let us celebrate the end of May. Hooray June!
