In an effort to do the opposite of what I've always done at Christmas, I decorated – bought a little tree and lights and everything. It's as close to a Christmas card photo as this family will ever get...Belle seems unsure about all of the nonsense (and I share her hesitation) but it's worth a shot, right?
Song of the Day: Father Christmas - The Kinks
Beautiful rainy ATL Monday morning.
Song of the Day: Naive - The Kooks
The inevitable delay of a scheduled meeting with a code official this morning gave me a rare opportunity to just wander about. A rainy day in Savannah is better than a sunny day in the office, all day. Everyday.
Song of the Day: Red's Song - The Jayhawks
The view from the first Holiday party of the season.
Song of the Day: Default - Django Django
I took a minute this morning to just be quiet and watch the world be still.
Song of the Day: Southern Rain - Cowboy Junkies
Vickery Creek begrudgingly dragged out and slumped into her drab winter coat this morning.
Song of the Day: Creeque Alley - The Mamas and the Papas
What's that Lou Kahn thing I'm so fond of saying – one cannot appreciate light without darkness or whatever?
Song of the Day: Prison Bound - Social Distortion
I thought Autumn would last forever until I walked out to pick up the Sunday paper this morning and realized that all the color was gone. There is, however a specific beauty in the remaining contrast that's not lost on me.
Song of the Day: Brother in the Night - The Weeks
Where once there was a skyline, now there is a blurry cloudy mess. I think I'm starting to exhibit the first signs of early onset Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Song of the Day: Desolation Row - Bob Dylan
That's a blue sky! I was starting to believe we'd never see it again! December is looking up.
Song of the Day: Kodachrome - Paul Simon
I punched one of our projects on the south side this morning, had a wonderful home food lunch at The Green Manor in Union City, did actual work for at least a split second this afternoon and had an eye-widening night cap at a gallery opening in Poncey Highlands. I always tell people to look up. Nobody looks up. I look up.
Song of the Day: Vehicle - Ides Of March
Client Christmas Party in Buckhead, AKA the Ninth Circle of Hell (especially during the holidays).
Song of the Day: Who Is Going To Save The World - The Generators
Office shenanigans.
Song of the Day: Poison - Alice Cooper
Perfect Butch show.
Song of the Day: The Weight Of Her - Butch Walker
A day of rest with my ace.
Song of the Day: Groovin' - Booker T and the MGs
It was Monday. All. Day.
Song of the Day: Not My Time - 3 Doors Down
Christmas in Atlanta is starting to wear on my last nerve – I'm out of focus.
Song of the Day: Couldn't Get It Right - Climax Blues Band
My least favorite necessary part of the job – business development lunch...what was that I said about looking up earlier this month?
Song of the Day: What's Left of the Flag - Flogging Molly
The nerve-wrenching layout, last chance for the buyer to flake and bounce before closing the deal. This pic doesn't do the piece justice. I'm humbled by the interest and believe the sell will def open some more doors. Today was an incredible day – so much so that I left this big deal detail out of the story.
Song of the Day: From the Ritz to the Rubble - Arctic Monkeys
The moon, ladies and gentlemen.
Song of the Day: I Lost It - Lucinda Williams
Read more about today here.
Song of the Day: It's All Been Done - Barenaked Ladies
Strange show in L5P tonight. I loved it. It was the perfect punctuation at the end of an odd Sunday sentence. In other news, today is the anniversary of Joe Strummer's unfortunate passing.
Song of the Day: Joe Strummer - Cowboy Mouth
$20 on a $5 ticket.
Song of the Day: Tooth And Nail - Dokken
Back in the 'Sip for the holidays.
Song of the Day: Doesn't Remind Me - Audioslave
Christmas morning in Mississippi. I had a walk with Belle after breakfast and a conversation with my Mom. I don't have...honestly I don't make enough time for my family. I've all but missed seeing my brother's girls grow up. I couldn't tell you the last time I called my sister just to say hello. It's nice to slow down and catch up. Belle even had a bit of turkey. Today was a very good day.
Song of the Day: Where I Send Thee - Natalie Merchant
I have written a vocal ton and harbor boatloads more negative about small southern towns. As I pointed my truck east this afternoon, I couldn't remember a single one. Perspective is a helluva thing.
Song of the Day: The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkel
I haven't painted anything of significance since Maynard died. I woke up this morning and decided to change that.
Song of the Day: Grindstone - Uncle Tupelo
Here's this morning's offering.
Song of the Day: Dyslexic Heart - Paul Westerberg
Still going. I haven't had a productive streak like this in months.
Song of the Day: The General Specific - Band of Horses
Last one...I have to get back to watching football now.
Song of the Day: White Falcon Fuzz - The Mother Hips
Tons of ball time with Belle, State won the Liberty Bowl, now off to see some old friends to ring in the new. It has been a great day. Happy New Year everybody!!! Tomorrow is a brand new day!
Song of the Day: Fly Me Courageous - Drivin' N' Cryin'
