It is his way or the highway

Jay Jay has an incredible way of figuring out whether he will go out for a walk. If I come downstairs in my house clothes, he would not even budge from his bed. But if he sees me wearing outside clothes, he will promptly jump down the stairs waiting for me to take him out.

Today, both Sharmila and I got dressed up to go to downtown. Our friend was already waiting at the door looking outside impatiently. I stepped out and he followed suit. But moment we got to the street, he remembered that Sharmila had dressed up too. Just sat their looking at our door waiting for Sharmila to come out.

I even let go of his leash and pretended to walk away. When I looked back, he was still waiting there for Sharmila to come out. And when she came out, he ran to me as fast as he could dragging his leash and occasionally looking back to see if she was following.

I think I might be know somebody famous!

We were walking in downtown Alpharetta when I spotted something in the newspaper dispenser on a busy street. The local newspaper – Alpharetta Roswell Herald was on full display. And right on the top in the middle of the newspaper, I thought I recognized something. Stepping in closer, I thought I saw a horse painting that looked like one that Sharmila had done.

Stepping in even closer, I noticed that even she is there in the picture. (sitting in the front row to your left).

Jay Jay was remarkably uninterested in my find!

A very talented guy – Geno

We were walking in downtown Alpharetta when we came across one more of those live music going on. This was at the intersection of Canton and Academy in front of Coalition.

This gentleman – Geno – is really talented. He was certainly singing and playing the guitar as many do. Simultaneously, he was playing the bass with his two feet on that instrument you can see. I was impressed enough that I waited for him to finish his song and then chatted him up.

Apparently he has been doing this for 30 years!!
