Saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp...

The Goodyear Blimp was scoping out my beautiful, freshly mowed front lawn this afternoon. I guess they had to take a break from the Final Four to take a gander at the lawn of legend...not to brag or anything. ;-)

Near-Record Pollen Count

Yep, that's my car covered in a ludicrous amount of wheeze-inducing pollen. The third picture was taken at the foot of the Promenade II building as I walked to the MARTA station after work. Yesterday Atlanta recorded the second highest pollen count on record. Yikes! Fortunately, I have things pretty well under control with my new allery medications. I'll still take 1-2 weeks of severe pollen over 2-3 months of snow, slush, gray skies & bitter cold. It's greater in Decatur! Woot!

Atlanta Hunger Walk

Today Laura, Katie & I participated in the Hunger Walk down at Turner Field and donated to the Atlanta Food Bank and Lutheran Services of Georgia. It was another beautiful Georgia day. Sunny & about 72.

'The' Big Chicken'

Laura & I were OTP yesterday to go to a children's consignment sale @ Mt. Paran Church North. We picked up a bunch of clothes & toys for Katie for about $45. Most things were under $3. Then we went to Williamson Bros. BBQ to get the best pulled pork in town. On our way back to the A, we passed Marrietta's famous Big Chicken. I snapped this picture w/ my phone as we rolled by so I could share it with all of you who may not have seen this quirky Atlanta icon.

Weather

Just back from a walk around the 'hood with mommy & daddy. Man, the weather has been great lately. Now, I'm headed down the street to my neighbor's house for a meeting discussing how our neighborhood might get an easement to build a bridge over the South Peachtree Creek to give us access to the Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve on the other side.

View from My Cube

So, my coworker has purple post-its with smiley faces on them from another employee. He hasn't taken them down even after incessant teasing from the rest of us. This morning, 2 of us decided to add a few more for what we believe gives his monitor a nice friendly look.
