this is the first entry from my new phone. This is kinda cool. I just need to train myself to hit the little bitty keys on this thing. I may actually put some pix up too.

It shouldn't be a bad drive from the ATL. I'll be up there for a week. from Oct 1 to Oct 7. It's been 22 years since I've been there...
