Haines His Way

Page Nine Munchkinland Dance!!!

A little slow here this evening?

I have to go put some gas in my car.

Yes, thank you Jane, I have seen it.  I try not to ever post anything (except my often stupid jokes) without first checking Snopes.  George Adamson's murder in 1989 was indeed a tragic end to a beautiful story.

I saw that and checked it on Snopes, too. It made me all weepy!

We went up to Marietta to see my godson. On his first day at MDA camp, a kid who thought his wheelchair jopstick looked like a video game control seized hold of it and ran Quinn into a wall and fractured his knee. He's now in a cast (red!) and we went for a visit and to sign his cast.

When I drove off, I heard a strange noise, and discovered my tire was completely flat. I had rolled over a nail somewhere.

A nice teenager from the neighborhood was very anxious to help. He had long hair and glasses and looked like most of my friends did when we were in HS. He had a flashlight on his cell phone so he helped illuminate while we changed the tire and was very helpful. It's always nice when you meet a kid like that!

 I forgot to mention that last night I went to a sneak preview of a  movie called GHOST TOWN, with Tea Leoni, Greg Kinnear and Ricky Gervais. I never realized what a marvelous actor he is! (I'd only seen a few minutes of THE OFFICE). I really enjoyed the movie, despite a few holes in the plot.

The event was put together by the board of the Atlanta Film Festival and afterwards there was a  "meet and greet" at a nearby post-house.

It's really funny how everyone know that the place I was working had been bought, and now everyone is hitting on me to move THE CLOSER to their facility. But I think we'll try to stay put for as long as we can. It's very weird though. The new people don't have a clue what we do, or that the people in my room are their clients! They seem to think that we all work for them, when in fact we are helping to pay their salaries! They are extremely nice, so I'm sure eventually they'll figure everything out.

And since I have to get up early to meet a friend for coffee (he's going to follow me to the tire place and then take me to work) I must hit the hay. The friend is a former producer I worked with for years and now heads up the web content division for TNT/TBS. I'm sure he will be interested in the goings on at the post-house, too!

What was that I heard? Could it be..... thunder?

We are finally getting some much needed rain.

Nope. The roof was replaced a few years ago.

I detect a decidedly not-very-good trend developing re: Gelson's and chicken.  Weren't you disappointed last night by some Gelson's chicken product?
