The news from Atlanta is that the weather has finally broken, and it is feeling like fall. Which is definitely a good thing, because Win and Campbell were here this weekend, and they would not have enjoyed 90+ degree heat. A good time was had by all this weekend in Atlanta, Win and Campbell came on Friday. We had a party to welcome them, they met many CNN folks, and a few musicians as well. Saturday we all stuffed ourselves into Andrew's Jeep and made our way to the Almond Brothers (I mean Allman Brothers) concert, which was entertaining. We had a good time babysitting the teenagers in the parking lot before the concert, and trying to teach them how to use jumper cables after the concert. Fun times.
All is quiet again on Rupley, the Virginians have left, Andrew is out watching football, and Jarrett is at the park. I am enjoying the solitude on the front porch for the time being.

Sounds like you enjoyed some well-deserved peace and quiet after a fun week-end.
Kind of scary when you realize that the concert goers are almost young enough to be your own kids - I remember when that hit me years ago. Now it doesn't even bother me that some of them are young enough to be my grandkids because there are always plenty of "geezers" and silver hairs peppering the crowd - at least at the very few concerts of that type that I have attended.
The music event in Chile was so inspiring partly because the music was not only cross-cultural but also ageless and cross-generational.
When is Jarrett's trip to Thailand? Please post to the blog when you have a chance, Jarrett! Would love to have a message or two from Thailand mixed in with our Browntown/Santiago reports. Also post pix if possible.
