The Last American Man
The other day, I was jonesing for a book to read and broke one of my New Years resolutions from several years ago. I went to Borders to get a book rather than getting it from the library. When I first walked in, I saw a book by Elizabeth Gilbert, The Last American Man and bought it just because it was written by one of my favorite authors, the writer of Eat, Pray, Love. It turned out to be a very good character study of a first born son of a very harsh father with a mother who Continue reading “The Last American Man” »
Come on In Precious
Don’t lay around and miss it because this weekend is your big opportunity to visit the lair of the Grant Henry at Sister Louisa’s Art Gallery in the Church of the Living Room. Did you know this man has over 52 winter coats? How about his 106 pair shoe collection?
Well those things may be interesting factoids but the real reason you should get over to the Telephone Factory Art Sale is that

Song for “Misses” Palin
This song written and sung about and to Sarah Palin by two Russian guys, Vlad and Boris is hilarious. I hope they don’t have too much longer to wait until she is back in Alaska where they can look at her through their ” teliscop” they made themselves, “out of duck tape and the thing that holds the rapping paper”. You betcha!
Meanwhile over here in Inman Park things are heating up as evidenced by the fact that someone stole my sister Mary’s McCain sign from her yard. I wouldn’t have stooped to that but I have to admit I am glad it is gone.

Artists in Residence
I am having a lot of fun running the The Urban Oasis Bed and Breakfast here at 130 A Krog Street in Atlanta. I am not your typical Bed and Breakfast proprietor. First of all, I don’t take just anyone, anytime. If someone calls at the last minute wanting accommodations, I sweetly say, Oh, I’m so sorry we don’t have any availability for tonight. Or if they call with some attitude or weird situation, same response, “no room at the inn”. But we have had some really great guests and actually none that were not great in their own way.

Meat Meat Meat Meat
Mickey Young is a maniac. He had the great idea of saving money on grass fed organic beef by buying a cow. So he talked me into this scheme. It sounded like a good idea, and we bought a standing freezer to share. Then we had to wait for our steer to be ready. We named him Hank. Hank was ready last week and we got him yesterday. But Mickey decide that since this farmer would not have any more steers ready until next Spring, that maybe he should go ahead and buy a half of another steer. SO he drives up yesterday with 12 large packing boxes full of frozen cow, in a zip car. We were sweating it that it would all fit in the freezer. But by hook and by crook (and some packing genius) we got Hank and half of his buddy in there tight.

Everybody Loves Trailer Trash
The other day at Danneman’s Coffee Grant Henry was royally obsessing about Hollis’s upcoming party for the release of her new book, Trailer Trash and he was blathering on about hoping that at least 25 people would show up for the party. Grant was especially worried after the AJC’s Access Atlanta came out last week with the wrong date!

I was very excited when Robyn called me today to tell me that she had been watching You Tube videos of the dance routines from the past two weeks of So You Think You Can Dance. We are fanatics and have been getting together every week to watch the results show. Before we watch it [...]
