The GPS machine routed myself and friend Corey to three Walmarts that were not there. Ghostmarts.

Training in a hotel by an airport in Atlanta. Learning again more than one should know.
Bowling Alley with video games and more importantly - Laser Tag.
Laser Tag - A group of thirty people under an umbrella of work, in a position of grand team exercise is amazing. Shoot the opponent, contain them, its playing American gladiators, its Double Dare sans slime. But man did we sweat.
And then Atlanta’s finest, the only place to truly understand Atlanta, but youdonknownuthinboutthat!
The Stretch
Team Arrives
We eat at Malones: Gumbo again, cajun grilled shrimp over small caesar salad. Shiner Bock.
It truly begins - seeing the full assembly, a brief but delightful reunion and off to bed.
Some work, some Lost, a missed call from my lady. And sleep, to JJ.
Off Day
My co-worker Leslie introduces me to The Earl in East Atlanta. This is a smoke filled bar with a diner menu of great Atlanta cuisine. We had boiled peanuts, fried okra, tots. I ordered a salmon BLT, yum, and there was a grilled Tuna burger and a spicy yellow fin tuna melt that were close seconds to my meal.
Should’ve napped. Watched Point Break while digging through application proceedings.
I think there was no natural lights on inside which made the daylight creak through the open windows and make all faces shadow-filled and dark. We left at four, it felt like 8. But the food, coffee, and bloody mary were all delicious. Highly recommended.
Ate Dinner at an Irish pub with Corey, talked about states, girls, girls in states, the state of girls, music, xtreme sports, modeling, cigarettes, beer, water with beer, condiments. Its nice - grand companion.
