Yes, we are those things. Today marks our 'official' final month living in Georgia. I moved here 6 years ago with genuine naivet'e. I have cherished my six years & honestly am unable of an earnest retroflection (is that a word) at this point, 3 glasses of chardonnay in, for this posting to be worth any sort of value.........I'm lost.............ok...............gather.................................................. ......................

It became abundantly clear today that we are leaving. Something about it being less than a month, I keep thinking back to the day I moved here, with Michael Gobiel, in a huge rental, he crashed it, whatever. Our time with this state has come & gone. We are ready to leave. But we have a few things to take care of before we leave this bible belt.
Fran, just today put in her 2 weeks, altho a bit early, nontheless, she gave it. Her goal til the 23rd is to scan as many of her family photos as she can fit into a workday, and search Pottstown for houses.
My goal, nothing really. I got a few gigs, kinda. Buffalo the 14th & 15th. Maybe finals. Really just uploading stuff & making as many covers as I can for Fran to print on her work printer. :) Lowdown dirty. That and packing; again.

We've accumulated a checklist of things we wanna do/visit before we leave. They are as follows:
-Centennial Olympic Park
-Kennesaw Mountain (the actual mountain)
-the World of Coke
-the Pittmans in Savannah
-Stone Mountain
-pictures of things we like (?)

We'll take care of a few of those tomorrow after (hopefully) a quick visit with Dr. Jeff. So stay tuned as we prepare to bid a fond adieu to the state of Georgia. There are many, many people we love here, but the time has come, & we gotta go.

P.S. Fran loves "I Love Lucy"
P.P.S. This post makes Fran think of Gob from Arrested Development.

hahahahhaa
