Gerald brought home a surprise the other day: a new Mini Countryman. The bigger surprise: I like it much more than I expected — and it looks pretty good, too:   It’s a more mature Mini — larger, four doors, more space in the “boot,” etc. Plus, with six hundred extra pounds to haul around, [...]

Continuing the recent “sunset series,” I spent last Friday evening together with Gerald, wandering around Rose Hill — one of our favorite test areas. While not quite as colorful as the two earlier in the week, it was still a nice evening; we enjoyed the ‘stroll. Since the locale was so familiar, we resolved to [...]

Please note: This post was written several days ago, but for some reason didn’t get published to the front page. Apologies for the delay. Earlier this week, John Cantwell and I went for a couple of evening photostrolls. Sunday’s, as Sunset #1, has already been posted. This post is about Tuesday’s: Macon Sunset #2. As [...]

Sunday, October 9, was College Hill Corridor’s monthly Second Sunday in Washington Park. It features food, expansive space for families, and, better still, a band. In this case, some guys called Yacht Rock Schooner: They played Steely Dan! Woohoo! Oh, and an Official Support Team: I don’t know whether the hoops are a standard thing, [...]

Went for a photostroll this past Sunday with John Cantwell, enjoying a beautiful evening and some gorgeous golden light. We wandered from downtown to Riverside, at the top of the a nearby hill, covering all sorts of different territory. Starting with the Macon Transport Authority’s new pride and joy: New Bus Terminal (at Sunday Sunset) [...]

Calvin and Allison celebrated their new home last Saturday, and were kind enough to invite me — and my camera. Exploring someone’s house with my camera is one of my favorite activities. When it’s filled with interesting stuff, it’s even better: Joined (in Modern Presentation) The simple stuff works, too: Paper Lamp And they have [...]

…and let me bring a camera. More than that: it was a big party. Their “85th,” or their combined birthday (and cumulative years) celebration, at SoChi, downtown Macon. With his band, MagTard. And guest performers, Flaco Torres and Mother Cunt. [Not a typo. —Ed.] Hell, yes. The associated gallery was posted last week, but due [...]

Update: photographs posted. Appreciate your patience. I’ve know Janie and Churchey for most of the time I’ve lived in Macon; we have mutual friends — Calvin and Allison* especially. Originally, this event was to have been a little bigger, but it was scaled back to a simple, friendly, civil ceremony at the Courthouse in downtown [...]

Despite being out of town this weekend, I’ve managed to complete and post the photographs from this past week’s Cocktail Hour, hosted by Chris and Ellen. Okay, so there are only eight shots. It should be quick to post. Photographs like this: Linus Presides Awesome bookcase — anyone with Linus, Plato, and Naked Lunch on [...]

I was hoping to have the house, especially the office, completely set up by now. Well, uh … no. And not for a little while yet; the details are taking much, much longer than I’d anticipated. Naturally. So ahead of adding more at tonight’s Cocktail Hour, then more this weekend (details later), I decided to [...]
