I spent several days this week in Atlanta.


Ali-Oli, a beautiful restaurant in Buckhead. Jet-laged Jay, enjoying a fine meal.




What a gorgious place to work. The dining room is built directly over the Chattahoochie River.




The Chattahoochie National Recreation Area provides access along the riverbanks. I sat a spell to read.



The swallows were brave enough to let me get close.



On impulse, I went to see Kill Bill 2. As I entered the darkened theatre, I was almost knocked out by the smell of fast food. The audience was seated at small tables and counters. I pulled up a chair to the counter. The guy on my right was digging into chicken barbecue; the folks to the left were gobbling a pile of French fries. Both had pitchers of beer.
