Elliott Brack

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. He was sort of a variation of the main character of Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full". I used to say that Elliott and I had a 50-50 relationship. He told me what to do and I did it. His 50% was telling me. My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of the community. It goes on and on. There were 260 people attending his funeral. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

I did a nice hike up Blood Mountain in North Georgia Saturday night with some new friends. We timed it for a near simultaneous Sunset/Moonrise with a harvest moon. It was a lot of laughs. The hike (which I had done before) is quite difficult. Officially, it is rated a 4 of on a scale from 1=Easy 5=Very Difficult. Night hikes are fun with friends, no doubt. The video was taken by one of my hiking companions. Sunday I had some fun adventure Inside The Perimeter (ITP) in the Inman Park area of Atlanta. It was a lot of fun. The dog picture needs a caption.
