I’ve mentioned before that I have to manually approve comments to my blog because I get a lot of spam-bots that leave weird, nonsense messages for me. Recently, I have also received some comments that personally attacked people featured on my blog. While I certainly welcome differing opinions (I love a good debate and realize …
Thank you, Thrashers
My beloved Atlanta Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg. As a season ticket holder and avid fan, I am terribly saddened about losing our NHL team.
Thrashers Season Finale: Win, Award and a KO
Saturday night was the season finale for the Atlanta Thrashers, and what a finale it was! After dinner at Blinky (our house), six of us piled into Rusty’s truck and headed to Philips Arena for our final game of the 2009-10 season. We headed down to warm-ups so Rusty could show off his new sign …
Snowpocalypse 2, Electric Boogaloo
Atlanta usually gets one snow a year, during which time there is a run on grocery stores for bread and milk, school is canceled and everyone hides inside. It doesn’t matter if it’s two inches of snow or two snowflakes, the city goes into shutdown mode. We had our annual snow in January, a light …
Thrashers Casino Night: Finally!
The Atlanta Thrashers host a Casino Night each year as a fund-raiser for the Thrashers Foundation, which supports various charitable efforts. I’ve been begging to go for three years now, and finally, this year, I wore Ed down. I knew I wanted to go with a 1950s/pin-up girl look, and by some miracle I found …
Schnitzel and Space Stations
Thanksgiving this year was anything but traditional. In fact, it’s the most unusual Thanksgiving we’ve had aside from two years ago, when we were thankful for warm Belgian waffles served on a street in Brussels. Ed’s a bit under the weather, so we passed on invitations from our neighbors and friends, figuring we’d cook up …
Working the Hockey Way
It seems that I’m taking the Atlanta Thrashers’ new slogan, “The Hockey Way,” to heart: today I worked the Hockey Way. Thanks to Rusty at FeO Consulting, I now have all of my blog posts transferred to my own website. Technical work like that bores me to tears, but it wasn’t so bad today since …
Best Burger Ever?
For years we’ve been hearing that Ann’s Snack Shop in Atlanta has the best burger. Not just the best burger in Atlanta, mind you, but the best burger period. Yesterday, Ed and I finally decided to put that claim to the test. Ann’s Snack Shop is on Memorial Drive near the East Lake and East …
Kungaloosh!
It’s amazing how a visit to one website can turn into hours of perusing, clicking and discovery of new internet gems. My mom stumbled across the blog Broke Hoedown (which is supremely entertaining, though I might be biased because it has so much Disney AND Star Wars content). Mom sent me over there, and through …
An Early Halloween Present
Halloween is my favorite holiday, so here’s a little Halloween treat for everyone. Cynthia Rintye is a tour guide with both the Lawrenceville, GA Ghost Tours and the Atlanta City Segway Ghost Tour. Cynthia generously shared several stories for my book, and she helped me track down leads for a few others. Her favorite story …
