Tweet of the week?

Dear friends: it's on. We have a candidate for tweet of the week. This tweet is an example of what happens when you introduce someone to barbecue, send him home to a land where it's not easily obtained, and then taunt him via twitter that you're about to have some of the tasty stuff:

@hsvlocals I CAN HAS BBQ? YOU MAILS. I EATS.

My work here is clearly done.

something borrowed (something blue)

I've had Talking Heads in, well, my head for most of the week. I started the trip with "Once In A Lifetime" and sang along until I had most of it.

"And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?"
— Talking Heads

South and east, I think, past the sprawl and congestion of Atlanta to the sprawl and congestion of yet another place, but one that has something I haven't seen in quite some time. Ocean.

Into the blue again, indeed.
