Back to the "Deep South" in Duluth GA

Image
I get a kick out of hearing the term "Deep South" in 2026. It is a crazy incredibly outdated label. I think maybe I should start saying the "Deep Northeast". I am a Yankee. My family came over on the Mayflower and moved to Upstate NY via Connecticut. Terms used in the revolutionary and Civil war days are generally inappropriate. My family is all but totally out of NY State now. I find the term "deep south" to be of the same thinking that the movie "Heidi" is what contemporary Europe is like. It is a long drive between Berkshire, NY and Duluth, GA. Most of the 35K miles on the truck were spent in between. I drove the truck about 3k miles in 2-1/2 weeks. It was great to spend time on the farm. It was good to make some progress on needed repairs and improvements. I also felt good about making some new friends up there. I will be back up there in August.

April continues to be busy. It is easy to say already that I have either worked a full day or traveled (often both) every single day of April 2016. And the month is not over. It has gotten so busy that I had to plan a meeting at a restaurant in the international terminal of the Atlanta airport. Places, times and missions/goals. It all has to converge somewhere. I spoke at a conference in San Diego. Some quotes I thought about this week. "The best camera is the one you have with you"--- Chase Jarvis "Do the work you can't not do."--- Scott Dinsmore (Read this one very carefully.) "Your heart is where you tears are."--- Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) An art pic of a familiar view from the "plane train" in ATL airport. Pics from Tijuana Mexico. I have a brand new passport. Just breaking it in.
