Love this mural of John Lewis who is a U.S. Representative from Georgia. It’s on Auburn Ave. in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood which is rich in black history. I went to Atlanta History Center’s Party with the Past event today which was held across the street from this mural in the Auburn Atrium. It was a happy hour with food and drink and history lectures. It was nice. Hopefully I’ll visit the AHC and the MLK center too.
Finally came here to see my kickball teammate play in his band called Seagulls. He was surprisingly good.
Rang in the new year with an improv show at Dad’s Garage and then went to a friend’s to watch the ball drop. I was home by 1:00 a.m. Here’s to new beginnings & blessings…
Enjoyed Christmas in Louisville Kentucky where my cousin lives. Highlights include seeing all nine kids running around, meeting my other estranged cousin and his family, and going out for bourbon with my cousins’ hubbies at 21C.
Above is a photo of Christmas season at Star Provisions.
I ran my first half marathon Thanksgiving Day in 1 hr 48 minutes 2 seconds. I was happy to finish it under two hours and spent the rest of the day stuffing my face. Looking forward to do a marathon next year.
A very fun beer run where you drink beer every 1k.
How cool is it that this Psy is wearing Vibrams?!
The 5th annual Tibetan Festival was back on Nov. 4 at Drepung Loseling Temple. The building used to be a church, sitting in the middle of an Atlanta suburb. Most memorable moments for me were hearing the monks chanting which was impressive, and having chai tea reminiscent of how I’ve had it in Nepal.
She was cute and lovely. Wish she had interacted with the crowd more or be more personable but it was great to see her live. Great concert to be at for my first visit at the Tabernacle.
My former coworker is obsessed with him so I went with her along with other pubescent teens but it was fun. Lewis is a good, likable entertainer. Thrift Shop is his best song in my humble opinion:
"It's cool."
Isn’t this alpaca the cutest? Went to the Alpaca Challenge, an alpaca show in Conyers, GA that is an interesting subculture to say the least. Many of the alpacas were cute although I couldn’t bring myself to pet one.
