I went to Elliot Brack's funeral yesterday. He was a friend. And he was quite a character. He was one of the first people I met outside of work when I moved to Georgia.

My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things.

There are so many foreclosed properties on the market it slows down the processes of selling bank owned properties. I am looking forward to getting the work done to the house and living on a lake. I got to use Atlanta's new international air ...
