“A Car to Make Weak Men Strong, Strong Men Invincible.”
The Mustang turns 40! I remember the ’65 burgundy convertible that my fraternity big brother had in college! I remember the day we drove around Tallahassee just so we could party when the odometer reached 100,000 miles! Very cool!

Here’s some shots of the Mustang through the years…

This one comes out later this year!

There’s a New (Caf�) Kid in Town!
Had a chance to visit the newest neat place in Olde Towne Woodstock, Georgia today – The Serene Bean! Homemade biscotti, a great, GREAT cappuccino, WiFi, meeting rooms, wonderful-smelling clam chowder, and lots of good-looking pastries, sandwiches, etc. About 35 cents cheaper than…well, you know! And the coolest part? The coffee cup sleeves with very neat art on them!

I heard – through our resident “grapevine” – that the owner said she was going to give…well, you know! a run for their money, at least locally! Right now, she’s got my vote! I’ve been waiting for a local caf� to come along that’s worth supporting. This is it! I hope she makes it!

Oh…I still love…well, you know! My secretary is still part-time there, and she, being pregnant and all, is not drinking caffeine. So, I’m the beneficiary of her “free pound a week” or whatever. OK…if you won’t tell her I’m going somewhere else, I won’t either! Deal?

What If They Had LOST?!?!?!?
What were these UConn fans thinking? When they rioted after their teams won national championships? Note to self: If your team wins, and you feel strangely compelled to damage property and endanger lives, don’t pose for pictures!
***UPDATE – 04.19.04: Apparently they must have rounded up all the hombr�s at UConn. The link to the Final Four “Celebration Pics” takes you to some innocuous thank-you note from the university. Ratted ’em all out pretty quick, I guess!***
