I've got a good feeling about October. The evening sky agrees.

Today I installed at my first small event. The canvases showed well in the space – so well in fact that I sold (2) pieces and have a definite perhaps on another. The total of the experience renewed my belief in whatever it is that I remain compelled to do.
Song of the Day: Won't Give In - Finn Brothers
Thursday – 03 October 2013
Twentieth anniversary party at the firm tonight. Good times. I take notes in my phone...just random things I want to remember sometimes. One of tonight's notes...everything should do like PBR does. I guess that says it all, doesn't it?
Friday – 04 October 2013
It was an absolute Chamber Of Commerce afternoon in the neighborhood.
Song of the Day: Careful - Guster
Saturday – 05 October 2013
Making my rounds this afternoon, I happened upon the ATL's Federal Penitentiary. I've always loved prisons – symbolically, metaphorically, actually – (I'll reserve my explanation for another day). It really is a beautiful building...if you can see past all the razor wire and whatnot.
Song of the Day: Dear Mama - 2Pac
Sunday – 06 October 2013
I did my best to introduce a new ball into Belle's backyard shenanigans today, but she would have none of it. She wants what she wants – can't fault a girl for that, I suppose.
Song of the Day: Sweet Pea - Amos Lee
Monday – 07 October 2013
Today, a morning happened in downtown Atlanta for somebody and it was better than the morning they had the day before. I'm almost sure of it.
Song of the Day: Jesus Is Just Alright - The Doobie Brothers
Tuesday – 08 October 2013
I was back in Katy, TX today for the final walk of another successful project. Postscript: Linguine Di Mare at Antonia's – calamari, clams, mussels, scallops, shrimp, Diablo Marinara (whatever that is). Outstanding. After dinner conversation with new friends, even better.
Song of the Day: Cypress Grove - Clutch
Wednesday – 09 October 2013
The west side of Houston is a nonsense scenario if you're trying to make a 10:00 flight out of Third World Hobby. There are a lot of beautiful distractions like this scattered along train tracks though, so that's something.
Thursday – 10 October 2013
I drove down to Columbus, GA for the state AIA conference this afternoon. I checked in and wandered new streets, just in time to see the sunset reflecting in these old windows – a much needed peaceful start to the end of the day.
Song of the Day: Portland - The Replacements
Friday – 11 October 2013
I had a nice long conversation with this weirdo at lunch today. She was cool.
Saturday – 12 October 2013
I woke up early for a Saturday morning, walked to the other side of the river and watched the timid sun rise. Then I had a day.
Song of the Day: Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key - Billy Bragg & Wilco
Sunday – 13 October 2013
Brief but flawless moment this afternoon up on Pine Mountain.
Song of the Day: Honeysuckle Blue - Drivin' n' Cryin'
Monday – 14 October 2013
This morning's sunrise helped bring the last few days into a very specific focus.
Song of the Day: Heaven Nor Hell - Volbeat
Tuesday – 15 October 2013
New toy! Thanks boss.
Song of the Day: Train in Vain - The Clash
Wednesday – 16 October 2013
Much to Belle's delight, the new security door is made of glass. All the better to facilitate her incessant barking at the passersby. We celebrated with '80s Metal and a mediocre Argentinian wine.
Song of the Day: Ice Cream Summer - Hanoi RocksThursday – 17 October 2013
My firm successfully defended our Bowling for Boobs championship title tonight at Midtown Bowl. I contributed effectively nothing but had a damn good time – even won a raffle prize.
Song of the Day: Drunk Like Me - Dogs D'Amour
Friday – 18 October 2013
My pre-game morning smoke scenery at the office takes a decided turn for the better this time of year. The little valley around Vickery Creek should be absolutely ablaze in fall color any minute now.
Song of the Day: Green Grass and High Tides - The Outlaws
Saturday – 19 October 2013
The Little Five Points Halloween Parade is high, possibly tops, on my top five list of ATL annual must-sees. The after was less than anticipated, but the day was legit.
Song of the Day: Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult
Sunday – 20 October 2013
I took Belle out to the country this afternoon. It took a while, but we found those gravel roads we were looking for. I stumbled upon a deserted pasture and allowed what I never do and let her off leash. She bounced and bounded around and tumbled through the tall grass for a minute or a few more, but she was quickly over it – sitting, waiting by the truck door. Back home, she found her Zen. If there is anything better in this world than lying in the dirt with her filthy ball and the sun on her face, she certainly doesn't need it or know what it is. She's home. It was a good day.
Song of the Day: Call Me The Breeze - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Monday – 21 October 2013
It looked like a good day from the morning freeway and it turned it to be exactly that. I even managed to secure an unexpected commission with a quick fuse late in the day.
Song of the Day: I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide - ZZ Top
Tuesday – 22 October 2013
Networking event at Atlanta's favorite local brewery.
Song of the Day: Trenches - Pop Evil

A scooter sitting on a pole.

Thursday – 24 October 2013
The reverse commute from the suburbs was arduous and forced a detour to The Porter this evening.
Song of the Day: Your Love - The Outfield
Friday – 25 October 2013
Day off productivity interspersed with manic backyard ball time – perfection.
Song of the Day: What Is Life - George Harrison
Saturday – 26 October 2013
Fall. It's happening.
Sunday – 27 October 2013
Ceremoniously photographing the season's first pot of chili ingredients marks the true first day of fall for me. Sadly, this celebratory day coincides with Lou Reed's unexpected passing. I raise my glass in salute old friend.
Song of the Day: Sweet Jane - The Velvet Underground
Monday – 28 October 2013
Rainy morning on the South Side.
Song of the Day: Hail To The King - Avenged Sevenfold
Tuesday – 29 October 2013
Big deal interview morning. Front stoop color afternoon. The jury is out on both.
Song of the Day: Devastate - Amanda Shires
Wednesday – 30 October 2013
I visited one of our projects down in Fairburn this morning. DK did a helluva job with the design, but all I can see is fall. (I might have a problem.)
Song of the Day: Stone - Alice In Chains
Thursday – 31 October 2013
I arrived at the office, later than normal thanks to a way too early morning SIOR Leadership breakfast...but when I got there finally, Yahtzee! How can I be expected to work in these conditions? On Halloween no less.
Song of the Day: Welcome To My Nightmare / Billion Dollar Babies - Alice Cooper
