a rush and a push8.26.2008
One day and I'm gone. Lots to do. A sick dog to care and provide for. Then a plane to catch. Some prayers to say. And I'll be gone to a very happy place. It's time, y'all.

lions and tigers and bears, oh my!8.25.2008
EriK has a wicked 6th sense, the strange ability to perceive changes in the barometric pressure and all that. He can feel a tempest brewing days before it hits. He's that person that feels those butterfly wings flap in the Amazon and knows the reprecussions here. Uh huh. And this morning, as Atlanta deals with Fay's nasty aftereffects, who's calling me? warning of dire circumstances? but EriK. Several minutes later the civil defense sirens went off. Trust, y'all. He IS StormCenter 2008.

Free Form Weekend:
* Pay attention while driving: one never knows when death will appear around the corner, disguised as a firetruck. Trust! Thank You, Whitney, for allowing me to live to see another day.
* "Tell No One" -- excellent, excellent film. Great little story complete with lots of unexpected twists and turns.
* Interval Sleeping is not for the weary. Neither is a slammed Sunday Brunch immediately following. Ouch.
* Nothing that Sun In My Belly's Meatloaf Sandwich won't cure. Damn.
* Derwood and Top Flr. Adam and his rather potent drinks, including a very special G&T I've nicknamed "A Nelly."
* I'm on the home stretch y'all: 4 days in the office, millions of chores, a trip to the Magic City for Doggie Babysitting and then I'm on a jet plane for the edge of America. Couldn't come a moment too soon.

get around to it8.21.2008
Another stellar bike ride this morning. I'm enjoying Fay's residual breeze. So unlike August around here. 'Tis almost bearable. Chatted with Dr. Rick who was out tending his Ansley Park roses. Rode some hills. Rode down Peachtree. Gorgeous.
Gus is responding well to his new pill-and-shot regimen, thanksforasking. In fact, he was running around the house this morning, obviously throwing caution to the wind.
Date Night tonight. Doesn't suck, y'all.
And, in 3 short hours I'll be be-smocked and getting my hair did. I hereby declare it Best Day Of The Month!
And that's about it. Have a great weekend.

sail away8.19.2008
On my ride this morning, the air was familiar but I couldn't place it. Was it the breeze? Was it the cool humidity? Was it the ever-so faint smell of the ocean? I chalked it up to being "just like Ptown" and thought nothing more of it till I was at the gas station and noticed that the heavy dark clouds had begun to roll in. From the East. Sure enough, a quick check of Weather Underground shows the tell-tale outter bands of Fay's moisture pushing through the metro area. I'm always amazed at the size and power of these storms. And anyway, we need the rain (but not as much as Florida's getting, please).
EriK and I watched Project Runway last night and ate my favorite summer meal -- peel-and-eat shrimp, corn-on-the-cob and a fresh herb salad. Perfect. What was especially perfect was Varla's pink sailor suit get-up. Flawless, y'all.
And that's about it. Busy days ahead and a trip to the Cape can't come too soon.

sun glasses and a bonnet, designer jeans with apliques on it8.18.2008
Well, I am happy to report that doom and gloom for Gus, the WonderLab, have been postponed. The doctor saw no reason to do anything drastic. He thinks an additional pill each day and a regimen of weekly shots will help alleviate the pain in the old guy's arthritic hips and back. I certainly hope so because watching this eternally happy dog suffer has been killing me. Perhaps he'll make it to 15!

hard candy8.16.2008
One should be careful what one asks for. Just when you've decided that your life is dull and stale and lacks depth and emotion, along comes the Summer of Palindromic Dates...The air fairly bristles with the static of life and all that that entails: love, loss, life, death, inertia, entropy, pain, pleasure, dark, light...you name it, I got it. Wham! Bam! One need only check the most recent four day slice of this life for illustration.
Stay tuned, y'all. Keep your hands inside the ride at all times. And fasten your seatbelts.

Phelps' Phat Phriday List:
* 6 down, 2 to go. My inside Olympic source tells me no worries. This is the same source that was right about Dara Torres and Natalie Coughlin. Trust the source.
* 8 hours of glorious, uninterupted sleep.
* Carpe-ing the diem
* Idle chatter and bonding with Ken at the gym. Quelle surprise!
* Morning coffee with someone special.
* Townes van Zandt.
* LaHoma van Zandt.
* Buschie is big in Japan. Or at least his BAC is.
* Liz took some of the most amazing pictures. Ever. And she climbed all over Yosemite. Dern proud of her!
* Two weeks, y'all. Two weeks.

This is where it all happens. Most. Incredible. Turns. Ever. Oh, and he's pretty damn good between the walls, too.
