From the 'Business Center' in the Holiday Inn located in Athens Georgia, I compose this entry. Mack and I are here to provide music for the annual Georgia State FFA conventions (we do it every year). It's a 3-day affair and we are about half-way through at this time. This is a fairly long break for us, about 6 hours, while the conventioneers focus on trade show activties.
We just enjoyed a tasty BBQ chicken pizza and salads over at Transmetropolitain Pizza. Rachel stopped by in between classes and had a slice and visted with us breifly.
Doug is over near Woody Gap watching the TdG come by. I just spoke to him on the phone and he said it was pouring rain just a few minutes ago and the descents will be treacherous. He's currently sitting with a bunch of team cars at the feed zone just before Turner's Corner. I filled him in on the progress of the breakaway and peloton from the live reports here on cyclingnews.com.
Rachel and I are going to go shopping when she finishes with her history class in about a half hour.
...more updates later.
DC live from Athens :-)
