The Chess King of Atlanta
2008-07-20 20:56:00 I was out until three in the morning last night, which has become kind of a rarity for the Old Man of the Hills here, and had a couple of set-fast beliefs turned on their end. First off, I ended up at the Ballroom Lounge in the basement of the Highland Inn, a place I'd avoided since it opened -- I was certain, despite friends' protestations to the contrary, that I'd hate it, that it would be claustrophobic and awful. Instead, it's spacious, a bit quirky, and really pretty cool.Then I ended up playing a game of drunken chess (like regular chess, except you're drunk) against a friend. Chess is a game that I've always thought you take up when you're tired of life -- the golf of board games. But I was completely wrapped up in the game, found myself thinking the moves through (when I've played chess in the past, it's with all the reserve and subtlety of a suicide bomber), and had a great time (and won). Am I actually a born chess player? Or have I just quieted down so much that ...

Hell is AirTran at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport
2008-07-14 10:48:00 Flight delays, cancellations, two people working at customer service with over 100 people in line, missing pilots and/or flight crews and no one to help you at the gate. Welcome to Atlanta?s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport on Sunday, July 13 and Monday, July 14! I should be writing this post from the Washington DC area, but unfortunately, I am not home. Hundreds of flights were cancelled and delayed on Sunday due to a storm. Although we arrived a few hours late, we were able to make it from Jacksonville to Atlanta Sunday evening in time for our flight to Baltimore-Washington International. However, our 7:50pm flight was delayed to 11:50pm. No problem as we had a lovely dinner at the airport Chili?s. And then we waited and waited and waited and watched for updates on the screen. The flight was rescheduled to 12:30am. We saw other flights rescheduled for 2:45am and 3:00am. At 12:25, the airline changed our gate. At approximately 1:30am, my brother called informing me that accord...

Atlanta Citizen of the Year
2008-07-12 10:56:00 I meant to post this a while back -- this cracked me the hell up.The Krog Tunnel's graffiti isn't really harmful and is even something of an attraction -- it's often creative and makes the tunnel interesting instead of dull. The stuff in the surrounding area is occasionally inspired, too.The image of that guy sitting in a tree, waiting for people to come by with spray paint, cheers me to no end.I was gonna walk down to the area and shoot some photos this morning, but it's July and I failed to get up before 8 a.m. So never mind. And, anyway, I shot some photos down there some years back, and (as far as I can tell) I never posted them. (If I did, I can't find them, though since my memory's shot that means nothing.)
Shane Cory and Andrew Davis Moving to Atlanta
2008-06-21 12:29:00 Letter from Shane CoryDear Friend, The Barr/Root campaign is picking up steam! Over the past few weeks Bob has been traveling from city to city and meeting with supporters and groups who share our message of liberty. Additionally, the strong media coverage continues with Bob being interviewed by the Washington Post, Fox News, the Christian Broadcasting Network, Time Magazine, NPR, Alan Colmes and many local radio and television stations. On top of that, Bob's running mate, Wayne Allyn Root, has been hitting the radio waves several times a day to promote our ticket. Our staff is coming together strongly as our web team has relocated from California to our campaign hub in Atlanta. I've also made the move from Virginia along with the Libertarian Party's media coordinator, Andrew Davis. We are working around the clock to get this campaign moving at full speed for our outstanding presidential ticket. A few days ago, you heard from Russ Verney regarding our need for ballot acces...

The weather got hot in Atlanta and so did Howard
2008-06-09 17:00:00 The thick blanket of heat that settles over Atlanta in the summer is a popular topic of conversation with almost anyone who is subject to it. But to Ryan Howard, 95-degree temperatures and near-capacity humidity are welcome relief from the cool Northern temperatures that linger throughout the first couple months of the season. "In hot weather, everything feels looser," Howard said. "Your body feels looser."That rationale makes sense when you look at the way Howard's hitting has risen along with the temperature. It has been a slow climb, for sure. He entered yesterday with just six hits in his last 32 at-bats, numbers that called to mind his immense struggles in the first 2 months of the season. But he snapped out of it with a 3-for-5 performance and had three doubles in a game for the first time in his career. Since his batting average reached a season low of .163 on May 7, Howard has hit .270 with nine home runs and 33 RBI. Now, it sits at a season high of .214."There are sti...
