Lady & Sons

We ate at Lady & Sons. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars. The place has plenty of hype, to be sure. And a waiting list a mile long. It was worth the experience ( I really love the photos of Paula Dean when young) but I wouldn't eat here regularly.

I've had the damnedest time with my large lens failing to focus on the right subject. Nevertheless, those out-of-focus photos can still be great.

Watching the Inauguration

Watching the inauguration at work. Quite the turnout here. It's like a party, only like a straight-edge party where only non-alcoholic beverages are served.

Received an awesome commemorative bottle. KO RMFO.

Here's a quick rating of the applause-o-meter:

10 Laura Bush, Mrs. Cheney et al

15 George HW Bush (a few "awwws" for his trouble walking)

35 Jimmy Carter

55 The Clintons

75 Shots of Bush's stuff being moved out of the WH

111 Obama

did i just

Did I just drop $200 per ticket to watch my jackets CHOKE in another bowl game?

holy crap

They scored quick. Real quick.

chick fil-a bowl baby

scored some sweet tix to watch my jackets tussle with LSU. Stay tuned for updates!

Big Top in Mabeltucky

My youngest looks like a circus side-show performer in this photo. Gotta love the little people.

miserable game

Watched gt blow it against UNC today. Is going to the ACC championship too much to ask?

Shoes or southern fried food?

Delicious, enormous hush puppies. Just what every growing boy needs.

Some of you will note that I am eating turkey, stuffing, corn, and hush puppies. According to the lunch lady, I have exceeded the prescribed "meat and two veg" meal combo design and so will have to pay a surcharge. Totally worth it. Others may say that I have strayed outside the lines of the acceptable traditional turkey meal combination.

Frak you all (including you lunch lady), I believe this to be a valid meal for several reasons.
1. Turkey loves company.
2. The hush puppies are huge, and deserve to be eaten.
3. Hush puppies are derived from corn products, and so can successfully counted along with the corn as one larger conglomerated serving of "corn". Note: this argument did not fly with the lunch lady. I forked out the extra $.95 anyway.
4. I am hungry. My belly screams for fried corn meal balls.
5. Those hush puppies are HUGE and DESERVE TO BE EATEN!


Editor's note: I paid for this meal later in the evening, but I had a good magazine to read while I waited for things to sort themselves out.

Ah, cornbread with butter. How we love you.

My oats are sown

Please welcome to the world my latest creation, Cooper. We are very proud of ourselves, yes we are.

Saw Chris Porter

This hombre is funny. Later found out that someone at the show had a camera rolling the whole time we were there?! There were only like 30 people in the audience, so I find it peculiar that someone taped the specific Thursday night we were there.

Starred Photos

Weather dampens hair, Reggie dampens spirits

Reggie Ball managed to lead the Jackets to a mediocre ACC Championship showing this Saturday.

I'm so glad that I spent $90 per seat to watch this game. Plus the time in the car, the hotel...

Chances are we'll be asked to the Gator Bowl right back here. And the weather will likely be nice. And we'll probably play a lot better, maybe even win. And then I will have officially chosen the wrong Jacksonville game to attend.

At least the B and I had some time together. He enjoyed saying "tadow!" (touchdown for those who don't speak Walkerese) and eating teddy grahams. Wet, but tasty treats.

This is Dave. He's in a band, ladies. They're called The Almanac (check 'em on myspace) and are the biggest shit to hit North Fulton County in years. Plus he looks hot without his shirt on.
That is all...

Nice trees.
That is all...

Christmas hiv hits house

We got deathly ill on Christmas Eve. The night before we ate at Red Lobster, so we naturally drew the assumption that we got attacked by a bad case of mudshrimp poisoning. But the affliction spread from person to person like a bad case of I-didn't-vote-for-it in the Senate. Therefore it could only have been one thing. Asian avian flu. I should have known it was so when we let those shady Asian bird peddlers into our house the day before. I mean they were pressing the hot sell and I admit I got caught up in the excitement of the "three dozen geese for $2" Christmas Eve special they were offering. But I missed all the warning signs, including the bleeding eyes, cough, runny nose, etc. Serves me right.

All better now, we are living large in Micahworld. Merry Christmas, mis amigos. HBD, JC.
