The Good Times are Over (but not for good)

The bad news is I have to leave Atlanta again either today or tomorrow.

The good news is I found somewhere I'm sure I can enjoy living - a nice little apartment in the middle of Midtown. Great location, secure, reasonable rent (well, almost), even covered parking. The manager said I should be able to move in by the end of the year or before.

As usual, I've loved my time here, but the highlight of this visit was an absolutely fantastic Rita Coolidge concert last night. This lady just gets better and better! She's beautiful, funny, and her music can still take your breath away. I loved it all, especially when she sang "Amazing Grace" in Cherokee. Unless you have no feelings at all, it will give you chills. And the band - outstanding! Even the opening act, Wilson Braswell Band (http://www.wilsonbraswell.com/) of Atlanta, was wonderful.

There was also a separate, amusing little undercurrent running outside the stage show that contributed to the atmosphere. I was alone so it's probably not what you're thinking either. However, it would take a personal conversation (or phone call) to describe what made this perfect evening even more entertaining.
