Catch up on this project of mine at the links below if you're new to the blog. This is the scheduled last one in the series (but I'm sure I will find a way to subvert that shortsighted rule.)
Thirty-One Days in March (Part 1)
Thirty-One Days in March (Part 1)
I think this one's a little too cheery, no?
Song of the Day: The Things We Do For Love - 10cc
Sweet Belle turned (6) years old today.
Song of the Day: If You Wanna Get To Heaven - Ozark Mountain Daredevils
Random ATL: 1180 Peachtree
Song of the Day: Seneca Falls - The Distillers
I had a site visit down in Montgomery, Alabama today. The project is coming along better than expected but I could barely concentrate on why I was there due to the preponderance of trains passing by the property. You know that wide-eyed wonder that little boys have about trains? I still have it and man I hope it never goes away.
Song of the Day: Pick Up The Pieces - Average White Band
Random ATL: Hill Street at MLK
Song of the Day: Will It Go 'Round In Circles - Billy Preston
My obsessive daily bridge construction distraction continues unabated. Rebar cages make me happy...takes me to my way back, I suppose.
Song of the Day: Time Machine - The Winery Dogs
Best studio meeting on record. Read more here.
Song of the Day: A Bit of Purpose - The Dirty Flaws
Out and about wandering this afternoon, I happened upon this dusty jewel at Moreland and Memorial. I'm not typically moved by rat-rods but this bad boy had a Cadillac engine, so there's that.
Song of the Day: Chelsea Dagger - The Fratellis
Today marks the 50th anniversary of The Beatles first arrival in the states and subsequent appearance on the Ed Sullivan show – for no particular reason I commemorated this historical fact with roast beast, ten-dollar wine and '90s grunge.
Song of the Day: Sex Type Thing - Stone Temple Pilots
With the threat of a catastrophic winter weather event, some people rush out to buy milk and bread...others do not.
Song of the Day: Going To Hell - The Pretty Reckless
Perchance the ATL learned it's lesson last month – the downtown connector was nearly deserted at 6:00 this evening. That's an unexpected welcomed first for me.
Song of the Day: Shaking Hands With The Holy Ghost - Blackberry Smoke
The snow finally came, so I worked from home today. Maybe it was the uncommon view from the dining room table, maybe it was the sleeping dog at my feet, maybe it was pure happenstance but today was by far the most productive day I've had this year. (I should get to work on my value of telecommuting speech to the bosses.)
Song of the Day: Lil' Tico - Big Ass Truck
Belle and I had a helluva lot of fun in the backyard this morning before the big thaw forced me begrudgingly back into the office this afternoon.
Song of the Day: Shambala - Three Dog Night
A while back, years ago probably, I thought it would be cool to have a ukulele. A few days ago I pulled the trigger finally and ordered the damn thing. It arrived today and I promptly set about fumbling through Somewhere Over The Rainbow. It's important to keep your brain active and engaged, right? I can't think of a better way to do that than teaching myself how to play a new instrument.
Song of the Day: Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
Flogging Molly at The Tabernacle – epic as always.
Song of the Day: Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly
I like it. I'll call it Sunset Behind The Weeds if I still like it in the morning.
Song of the Day: New Madrid - Uncle Tupelo
Song of the Day: Invisible City - The Wallflowers
I had a 7:00 breakfast meeting at the W in midtown this morning. It wouldn't have been cool even if it was as impressive as it sounds but what it did afford me was a perfect view of 1st Presbyterian against a flawless blue morning sky.
Song of the Day: Great Expectations - The Gaslight Anthem
Random ATL: Georgia State Archives. This has been one of my favorite buildings since day one in the A – there's just something about travertine, right? It exists in no-mans-land, unconcerned between (2) freeways and I've never thought to try to experience it up close. I see it every morning from MLK and I see it every night from I-20 in a different light and that's exactly how I'm suppose to.
Song of the Day: I'm Your Negative - River City Tanlines
I stepped way outside of my comfort zone this morning and went to a local elementary school to teach 2nd graders about art. Faced with an empty canvas, the first little girl asked, what am I supposed to do? I replied in the only way that I knew, whatever you feel like. I don't have kids of my own, but I can imagine the satisfaction a parent feels must be tenfold what I felt when I saw the light go on and she and her classmates embraced the moment. Today proved my life thesis that everyone has art inside of them just waiting to get out.
Song of the Day: Teach Your Children Well - Crosby, Stills, Nash + Young
I won my category in the 1st Annual Chili Cook-Off at the office today!
Song of the Day: You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were Looking Straight At Me - Arctic Monkeys
I had a peaceful nap with Belle this morning after a ton of ball time and a hot bath. She left this afternoon for the last time to go live with her mom. She's off on a new adventure now and I suppose I should do the same. We had a long talk last night and she knows what's what. I sure am gonna miss that crazy dog, but we'll both be fine.
Song of the Day: Sticks And Stones - Ray Charles
Enjoying the beautiful weather and the Sunday paper on the front steps this morning I noticed that the Chrysanthemums I planted last fall are starting to wake up and peek through. That's a wonderful hopeful thing right there.
Song of the Day: Atlantic City - The Band
Song of the Day: Trouble In Paradise - The Like
I punched one of our data center projects in D.C. this morning – I think these guys are as ready for a new season as I am.
Song of the Day: Tip Of The Tongue - The Donnis Trio
Song of the Day: My Old School - Steely Dan
Sunrise #365.
Song of the Day: 25 Or 6 To 4 - Chicago
