hi from Marietta, Ga

brian1789 and I are safely in the Atlanta area, and have been having a most excellent evening. The ride was a smooth one, with pretty views of red Utah earths and the silvery Tennessee River.

After landing we went to Mary Mac's Tea Room for dinner, which a bunch of you recommended, and which turns out to be one of the places that Jay liked to dine at as a grad student at GA Tech. We had fried green tomatoes & okra, corn popovers, squash & sweet potato souffles, spiced apples, pears w/ cheese, peach cobbler, bread wine pudding, and some of that very sweet Southern iced tea.

Then, some night geocaching... we found both of the ones we searched for, and met a very friendly tabby along the way. The local caches are of excellent size. We dropped one of runeshower's Tiny Tarot sig items off in one of those caches... so we can now be corny and say that the Devil has gone down to Georgia ;-)

Tomorrow, he goes off to do some drill testing and I'll choose from some of the wonderful activities that you all have recommended... then we will have dinner with his parents and siblings, who I'm looking forward to meeting for the first time.
