Let’s see…GA. We’re all about the peaches and peanuts, really. And okra and barbecue, if you’re into that kind of thing (I’m not, which limits my eating-out options). The only other Georgia-y thing I can think of is the Atlanta Bread Company, which is a very nice soup and sandwich place (which also happens to have the best cheesecake this side of the Beverly Hills Cheesecake Factory).

And in my part of the state, there’s a Chinese or Mexican restaurant on almost every street corner. Some of it’s even convincing. Nowhere near as good as AZ-Mex, I’m sure, but it works for us. Ever been to a Moe’s Southwest Grill? Yum.

Or you could always come by and I’ll make cream puffs. I make a mean cream puff.

You’ve found one of the few things that I’ll babble on about. I love food.

Sara, thank you. Most helpful. Think I like Zap. Zap Kincaid. He’s hired.

Miri, I’d love to come to Georgia! What food are you guys famous for? (Because it’s all about the food.)

Herb, you’re a culinary/pee genius. Excellent tip.

Annette, no doubt you’re right. I’m sure there’ll be a last-minute scramble tomorrow morning to hide all the evidence. I’ll be looking under the beds for beer-soaked rawhides.

Take your pick. Or I have more if you’re finicky…

Huh. Y’all is standard here in Georgia, but I’ve never thought of it as a Texas thing. An artifact of traveling only north and south and not west, I guess.

Please continue to take care of yourself, and get home safe and sane. You seem to be doing much better than I could (which might be why I’m not published yet, hmm?). And next time you’re on tour, come to the big GA. If at all possible.

oh yeah, i forgot. in addition to eating pizza, slammin’ shots and watching r-rated movies, mr. brande and your dog bear are emptying the ol’ bank account buying lottery tickets. i’m quessin’ there’s going to be quite the little mess to clean up when you get home.

Bright yellow pee? Now if you could eat a bunch of asparagus you could further heighten your sensory experience.

Congratulations! You’re almost home. “Theres no place like home”. My feeble attempt at a literary reference.

Heather, I forgot you live here! Want to meet me for coffee at 5:00 in the morning tomorrow?

Wah!!!

I wish I could see you today. But you’d probably fall asleep on me.
