^ It looks like the Japanese men were trying to act French with their bérets. They're funny, but too polite to be French.
Berets don't look so bad after all. The French don't wear them much anymore because it would be old-fashioned or too stereotypical.
I might buy one if I find a stylish one. That would be a change from my regular caps by US brands.

Be sure to wear a striped shirt and carry a couple of baguettes.

you got a picture of the building my husband works in. (portman development - micron)

unfortunately they made the snap decision to close the office they just opened here a few months back, and thus we are moving to CO so he can work out of the office out there. (sucks, wasn't wanting to pull up roots here)

i don't know about all of the politics but i do know there were some people eagerly anticipating/hoping for micron to have been able to install a sign on the top of the tower, but since it shares a podium with the tower occupied/signed by anthem, the city was not approving them to add a connector-facing sign on the south tower. (one sign per building rule or something) i wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the reasons they decided to pull out - they really wanted to market themselves to GT from across the freeway...

Is there a way you guys can find your way back to ATL in a few years? I relocated to the Bay Area a few years ago for work and only planned on being out there 2-3 years max. I could not do that again.

^hopefully. we're still on the fence about renting vs selling the place. i'm on the renting side of things because the current mortgage rate on it is definitely lower than what a new mortgage would be. (and i'm ok with taking on the role of property manager when needed) he's more on the side of washing his hands of it and moving on, and getting something closer in if/when we return. lavista park is pretty suburban, we used to bike a lot more before moving here. i think we're going to list it both ways and take whatever comes first.

edit: oh yeah, photo tennis. citadels
