The picture above is of a duplex in Atlanta; it's my old apartment, two blocks away from Piedmont Park. But more than the lovely park, I miss evenings on the front porch hanging out with my favorite folks from the neighborhood, Todd and Desiree.
So, of course during my visit to Atlanta this past weekend I stopped by Todd and Desiree's house to catch up. During our conversation, I mentioned that I was supposed to take a trip to NY this upcoming weekend, but decided to cancel because I couldn't justify spending money on a hotel room. As I continued to talk, Desiree got up out of her chair, grabbed an item off of the counter, walked over to me, and placed keys to their Brownstone in my hand. Todd then jotted down the address, the area in Brooklyn where their house is located, and the relevant cross-streets.
I'm thrilled. Desiree's company temporarily transferred her to NY, so she'll be there to welcome me, and Todd will arrive in the City on Thursday. The highlight, however, will be Ms. Gertie, the pup in the family. She was one of Jacques's best buds from Atlanta, and of course, she'll make the trek with Todd on Thursday too.
One thing is certain: tons of shots of Ms. Gertie are forthcoming.
