Hey Atlanta friends! It’s been a few months since I’ve played in town with a full band, and several of you have asked about another local show. So, December 18th I’ll be bringing the band for a show with our good friends Pasadena and Harrison Hudson! It’s a benefit show for Toys For Tots, so bring a toy and save $2 at the door! Three Favorite Gentlemen bands in one one night! Expect to hear some new tunes and have a great time! Tickets are $10 at the door or $8 with a toy.

I snapped this pic this morning while running to the bank. A crane was lifting steel beams into the roof of the Theater. Here’s hoping for a speedy return to action for the GA theater!

I saw TV special featuring a professional pool player, who sank every ball on the table in a row. He said the way he does it is by figuring out where the cue ball needs to be to sink the last shot, and then works backward from there, planning each shot in reverse.

It got me thinking… what if I used the same tactic? What if, instead of aimlessly struggling to find the next rung of the ladder, hoping for some “break”, I really thought about where I want to end up, and worked backwards to figure out the steps to get there from here.

Where do you want to end up? Now work backwards to where you are now.

What’s your first step?

I’ve got a new camera. It’s not too fancy…just a point and shoot. But it takes nice pictures and it’s small enough to carry all the time, which was my intent. I wanted a camera to add something visual to this blog, and I can also use it to record video, so expect more video podcasts!

I make no claims of being a photographer, though I have actually been employed as one, and I built and ran a darkroom when I was  the head photographer for my yearbook staff in high school. I know a little bit about how the gear works, but I don’t aspire to be a photographer.

But I will post some pictures here along with my writings. And some  of random things I see along my travels.

Here’s a shot from the other night when I offered to do the grocery shopping and let Mary relax at home. Notice the shopping list and the sense of endlessness in the aisle.
