Our dear friends Nikki and Paul were in town from Savannah this weekend, and high on their list of priorities was getting to meet Sam for the first time. Their daughter, Maddie, as well as our friend Shondra and her daughter Alondra came by to visit Saturday morning. Check out the photo gallery here.

Bikers, Beer & Babes Babies
Last weekend, our neighbors Michael & Rachel organized the annual Rosalia/Cameron Street block party. Neighbors from all over Grant Park attended the festivities, and Sam had a great time at his first post-utero musical event – a local blues band. Check out the gallery of photos here.
Apartment Fire
Sadly, Amy and I were woken just after 4 a.m. today with the blaring of sirens down our street. Amy, 41 weeks pregnant as of today, wasn’t sleeping so well in any case. My old journalistic nose kicked in, literally, as I could smell smoke from the nearby apartments. One unit appeared to be a total loss on the upper floor. Hopefully, everyone got out. I headed down the street to see what was up, and take a few photos. No news on injuries yet, but all the area TV stations arrived as I was leaving. It’s really amazing to me that it’s been seven years since I chased this type of news for a living. I love my job today – but sometimes miss the street.
Masters in 3D
Although the snow mass has not even begun to melt over some areas of the Northeast, the annual Masters golf tournament begins this Thursday. The Augusta National Golf Course opened it’s gates early Monday morning to those holding one of the hardest tickets in sport – Masters ‘badges’. See – they are so hard to get they don’t even call them tickets! Anyway, my old newspaper buddies in Augusta at The Augusta Chronicle lifted a page out of the 2000 edition of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and have published a collection of 3-D photos from the 2004 tournament. You’ll have to find your own red/blue glasses, but the effects are pretty interesting.
