Sharp as a Marble
HomeAboutContactSyndicationLogin
 

Spring Break is supposed to be warm with beaches and scantily clad high school girls parading around.

'Cept I'm up in Atlanta visiting Mom where it's overcast and like 60 degrees (as a side bit of trivia, I think in Florida, water freezes at 58 degrees). This may explain the complete lack of posting, but then again, maybe not.

It's the first time I've seen my mom since her surgery. Her hair is starting to grow back, but it's a little odd to see her with what amounts to a buzz cut. She's doing ok. She had quite a bad flu the past few weeks and it was difficult for her to work through it but thankfully the worst of it is gone.

I'm taking the family to Stone Mountain tomorrow. It was supposed to be in the 70's, but that seems to have fallen through. And I totally forgot to bring a jacket.

Last and certainly not least, the clip on my holster broke so it's either Mexican carry or nothing. I'm going for "nothing" as I like my testicles where they are. This is probably a good thing since Georgia's carry laws are as screwed up as they get and half the state is off limits (which half is up to each person to guess).

So, for any of my readers in Florida, please send the sun my way. I miss it already.

I've only been in FL for a little over a year now, and my blood is about that thinned out too. 60 degrees used to be "shorts/tshirt", now it is "jeans and a light sweater" weather.

I haven't been to Stone Mountain in years. Its fun climbing around on the top. Hope you can stay for the laser show (its kinda silly, but your daughters should enjoy it.)

You don't keep backup holster parts? You Glock dudes are spoiled by having a gun that doesn't break... you assume that nothing else will break either.

We had snow and sleet all morning here in Salt Lake.

I had to scrape frost off my windshield this morning. If you want sympathy, it's in the dictionary between sh!t and syphillis... ;)

Best thought for your mom, we went golfing (badly - more like walking around drinking)... Interestingly, if you look at it one way, Golf is played at "engagement distances"...

Feh. I have since lived in Ocean Springs, MS, Jacksonville, FL, and now San Diego, CA, and I would give just about anything to go back to Atlanta, crazy-assed carry laws or not.

Sure, the weather can be a little tempermental, but that is the fun of it... And the city, in my little opinion, is just great.

Best of luck to your mother and her recovery.
