Been awhile

Well what can I say.  It has been awhile since I have had the chance to just blog about anything on my site.  I haven't even had a chance to catch on other blogs that I read.  So I do apologize for not blogging more. But, not too much has been going on.  I did have a birthday so now I am a year older.  I bet you though I was going to tell my age.  NOT! I am not actually that old.  But, I feel like it sometimes.  But, the birthday was cool.  Sort of low-key.  I had a nice Italian dinner with some friends. Then we hit the local gay strip bar Swinging Richards to end the night.  At one point one of the strippers takes off my glasses and places it on his private parts.  It was a fun night.  This passed Monday, Labor Day, a friend and I went to a local Atlanta attraction.. Stone Mountain Park.  It was our first time visiting the park and it was amazing.  I wish we had more time there, because there were several things I wanted to experience.  But, the main thing was the mountain and getting on top.  In order to get on top you either had to hike or ride the Sky Ride to the top.  Well since I wasn't prepared to hike 5 miles to the top, we took the sky lift.  Now, I should tell you that I have a small fear of heights and this is WAY beyond anything that I have ever done in recent years. My buddy encouraged me to just do it and so I did.  It was a little hair raising, but I made it up without incident.  I was so happy that I did.  The view from top was well worth a little discomfort or the uncertainty that I felt getting up there.  Although the ride down was another story all together, but I made it through that too.  To end the little excursion to the mountain we had the chance to see a laser light show and fireworks display. I was awestruck to say the least.   So, that's it.  A few things going on in my life.. Nothing major.. until next time..

The Week So Far

Wow, the week has started out with a bang.  I was invited to go to a

mandatory company outing on Tuesday.  I thought you could decline invitations.  I was obviously wrong.  Nevertheless, I had to drive all the way across town to a meeting place, to catch a bus to the main destination.  Now if you live in Atlanta you know that rush hour traffic is no joke.   So, I leave extra early to be in front of the traffic so I could make it on time to the Lithonia area of town.  Thank God I left early because I had the chance to have some breakfast before the 1:45 trek to Augusta, GA.  I was sort of excited since I had never been to Augusta.  But, upon my arrival a big charter bus was not what I had in mind.  Wow, big bus I thought.  Although, it did have an amenity that I did not expect.  TV's above the seats, on a bus? How long has it been since I have been on one of these things?  Although, I like the genius of Carlos Santana.  I had no intention of hearing a full concert of him and others serenading me on this trip.  So, I just put on my head phones and pretended to be asleep, so no one would talk to me.  The trip itself was boring.  LOL!
