Magazines Featuring Joy

A few magazines - Southern Weddings and, more recently, Brides Atlanta - have featured some of my wife's work. The next time you're in Barnes & Noble, Borders, QT, or an airport newsstand, check out page 100 of Brides Atlanta. Look for three horses. In Southern Weddings, her work is all over.

Way to go, baby!

Foreign Language Learning Tip #3

Intentionally putting yourself in a position to speak conversational Spanish/French/Arabic (or whatever you're learning) is foundational to picking up the language. And if you can’t leave the country yet, then find a friend who will agree to speak the target language with you. In order to do this for any significant length of time, this friend will have to be patient, gracious, and committed to the goal of helping you practice. Even if they speak only a little better than you do, it will help dramatically.

Bummer

On the one hand, a few benefits of living in downtown Winder...

1. being able to walk pretty much anywhere
2. a fantastic, tranquil, and kid-friendly back yard
3. low housing taxes
4. near Athens, GA
5. very friendly people

On the other, a few disadvantages...

1. our Mellow Mushroom just went out of business
2. our last coffee shop just went out of business
3. and now this...

On April 26, the AJC will reduce its distribution area from 27 to 20 counties in Georgia. The paper will no longer be delivered in Barrow, Bibb, Clarke, Houston, Monroe, Oconee and Putnam counties. Profitability analysis of these areas has shown that the cost of delivery simply outweighs the revenue generated by these areas.
