Snow in Atlanta . . .

. . . is like a fish that needs a bicycle. Or something.

Doc Chey's opens in Grant Park today!

Peace, love, and noodles for all!

When you least expect it . . .

. . . the carpet-raptor may strike. Ouch!

At the end of kid-times this week, we have lots of things to remember: roller-hockey gear inauguration, KNEX dinosaur set exploration, Pop-Pop's 4 hour wooden owl project, peer-tutor success, sloppy joes, Astro-Boy, reading together at night, earlier bedtimes, chocolate-covered pretzels, awaiting Doc Chey's openingin the 'hood, and the Avett Brothers (again).

Snow mountain and my dad's rapier wit

Here's what you find at Snow Mountain, all of which is machine-fabricated, for $25/person:

Snow Mountain is really a way for Stone Mountain, Georgia to make money when it's cold. Today, my Dad said, "You know what that is," gesturing to the Stone Mountain carving:

"It's the biggest second place trophy in the world." Sharp, that one.

AiD 2.5: Fresh meat for the research machine . . .

. . . but they're so pretty, so maybe I won't eat them.

Puzzling . . .

. . . why is the coolest thing at the Imagine It Children's Museum this tile pattern on the bathroom floor? A) It's really quiet in there. B) No unchaperoned kids are throwing sand at you. C) All of the above. D) I'm old.

I thought I was taking my kids to the dentist . . .

. . . but the Yanni, the flower arrangement, and the hushed conversation convinced me I'm in a funeral home.

Safety first

The new "in-thing" this Thanksgiving is being sick, so grab your SARS masks, Swine Flu anti-venom, and slice up the bird.

A holiday of imperial expansion ...

... is somehow excused by turkey-craft this cute.

Things you get when you turn 10

My daughter's first decade is in the bag. May I finish my diss. before she's 20.

Being home sick from school . . .

. . . means you have a lot of cursive "P"s to catch up on.

Danger!

No, I have not suddenly decided to review thrash-metal albums from the 90's.

I went to the doctor today and wanted a photo momento. Ever think about how the international BIOHAZARD icon is not that scary . . . but just a bunch of circles? It could be just the stains of a four cups of coffee on a orange table cloth.

It's good to see you.

Thao rocked the Earl, with a collection of new songs and old ones. By old ones, I mean songs from her first album last year. More of a review tomorrow. Man, she can throw that hair around and twist like a snake preacher.

Yes, that is Keyboard Cat.

Up and down

No pawn shop pictures yesterday; script meeting postponed.

After a chain of monumentally frustrating events, I had to tie on my running shoes and hit the street. At the end, I ran up this hill five times. There was a lot of steam.

Three out of four cool girls . . .

. . . prefer Chucks. My daughter and her dancing pals before the parade.

Why can't grown ups have socks this cool?

The tribe comes home . . .

. . . today. Writing; pause. Organizing, drawing, hugging; engage.

Balance . . .

. . . is really important if you work in the circus.

The road to Halloween . . .

 

 . . . is paved in pumpkin seeds.
