Labor Day Weekend
Deliciously Quiet Labor Day Weekend… I rarely, if ever, travel on long weekends as it is too often needed time to get caught up on loose ends (do those every get truly completed?), and decompress from busy weeks. And, of course, there is always the traffic jam coming and going, that I love to avoid.…
Nan Fine Thai Dining – Atlanta, GA
Having had only limited experience with Thai Dining in Atlanta, this was a refreshing change of pace. The atmosphere is truly Thai in feeling (rather than Chinese tortured) with towering columns in gold and red at the four corners of the intimate central dining area. We were invited to get comfortable on built in sofas…
The Power of Intention
The old adage goes “be careful what you ask for, you just might get it!” Well no truer words were ever spoken. It seems that sometimes we ask for what we want but aren’t truly ready for it, and then feel pushed to either get ready or let the dream slip by to appear in…

Fracture
“Fracture” – Anthony Hopkins, Ryan Gosling, David Strathairn I’m a huge Hopkins fan anyway and have to say that this might just be the long awaited break Gosling has been seeking. He’s always had a sort of quirky appeal with unplumbed depths possible and the persistence of a David in the face of Goliath. The…
Folk Fest 2007
Folk Fest 2007! Yes, I did get to attend this cornucopia of outsider art and den of untrained talent. It is always a fun show so I’ve included here some pics of the artist’s vehicles decorating the parking lot. I did manage just a couple of minor acquisitions for my back fence. I’m a sucker…
Giving It Away
I have had two very disconcerting experiences in business relationships with contractors lately. The first was a contractor who I have worked with for some five years and when he invoiced on three jobs, he had suddenly gone from his quoted rate of $25/hour (handyman) to what looked like $200/hour. Clearly this wasn’t acceptable and…
Good Enough Counts
At our bimonthly Dining Divas gathering we each brought a dish, intriguing conversation, and a life of fascinating experiences and amusing anecdotes to share. It was tough organizing it this time though. It seems we are all accustomed to agendas, structure, and themes and without them are unsure and can flounder. Ironically, when these are…
Starter for 10
“Starter for 10” – James McAvoy, Rebecca Hall, Alice Eve, Benedice Cumberbatch, Dominic Cooper I love Brit humor anyway and their romances always feel much more down to earth and real to me than the Hollywood beautiful people stuff. This is refreshing perhaps because it had so many new faces to me, and the “ugly…
