Heading for warmer climes.

The weather started getting cold in Atlanta so we bolted for the Gulf of Mexico as fast as we could. We got to LA in good time (Lower Alabama). We're staying at Marriott's Grand Hotel in Point Clear on the coast (circa 1854). Work is piling up back home, but this is a nice place to be.

The Mumfords moved to Atlanta a few years ago and built themselves a southern mansion on 17 acres of wooded land. They put us up for the night and we got the chance to reminisce.

From NC we high-tailed it down to Atlanta and took in the night city Scape -- it is quite the sight. I worked again visiting our new Dixie Aerospace facility in Peachtree City. Then we got together with our old friends from Saugus -- The Mumfords and went out to eat. We lived there some 23 years ago!
After Old Salem I interupted my vacation with a day of work with BE Aerospace. When there I stay in a Marriott by Wake Forest University, home of the Demon Deacons. Last year the Demon Deacons went to the BCS Orange Bowl and made enough money to add on to their football stadium. They put this statue up of a Demon Deacon, so now you know what one is! We visited this campus and Duke's in Durham, NC.
