Looking forward to Saturday in the Spring in Georgia
Today is Friday and I have a few folks coming around and I need to go to Henry County to discuss a probate with the kindly personnel of the Henry County Probate Office and we, meaning Cindy and I were going to go up to Atlanta and eat with two of our friends at Six Feet Under but everyone had other things to do tonight so now we are going to J. Henry's and then to a movie and Kate is driving to Columbia, actually Lexington, South Carolina to celebrate a birthday with one of her friends and her friend's twin sister and she is excited and we got her car fixed and now I am feeling a tad light in the billfold but her car is running soundly and she is happy but wishes life weren't so expensive which it is but you really can't do anything about that, Clark Howard notwithstanding, but despite the clouds and the growing darkness around Spalding County, it is still pretty outside and I can look out the window in front of me and see three beautiful dogwood trees in full bloom and this is really the nicest time of year in Griffin with all the dogwoods and cherry trees and apple trees and peach trees and the azaleas in bloom and I do want to go to Callaway Gardens and tomorrow would be a perfect day with sunny skies and a high of 73 but we are still supposed to drive to Atlanta and watch junior volleyball in the World Congress Center which is kind of a bad place to be on such a beautiful day which reminds me of a Sunday about ten years ago when Cindy and Kate and I (the Killer Bees) were visiting mom and dad and dad asked me if I wanted to go to see the Falcons play the Rams and we rode MARTA down to the Georgia Dome and walked across the street to the ticket office and bought tickets in the south end zone and the Falcons won (amazing!) and all the points were scored in our end zone and we were sitting in our seats in the fourth quarter and it occurred to us that it was a perfect day to sit in the endzone and watch a game, except for the fact that we were indoors and it would have been so much nicer to sit out in the sun on an early November day in Atlanta, when the skies were blue and the clouds were fleecy and the temperature was around 70 degrees which leads me to this thought, if we can sit in the sun on an afternoon in August and watch the Braves and not complain then why do we need a football stadium with a roof over it when they play football in the Fall when the climate in Georgia is usually perfect but no one ever asked me opinion on these things and I am clearly not in charge, but Saturday will be pretty and I am looking forward to enjoying the day.
