"It's Tuesday, It Must Be Atlanta..."

"It's Tuesday, It Must Be Atlanta..."

I'm packing up tonight and spending the day in the air tomorrow. I'm due to visit the Atlanta office on Tuesday morning.

It will be my first time in Atlanta and, of course, I can't think about Atlanta without remembering a story my Mom told me about a trip she took there with my Dad.

You see... Mom was going shopping and managed to walk into a bookstore. I was in high school at the time and one of my friends, whom I'd known all my life, was a really big Civil War buff.

Mom thought, "Wouldn't it be great if I brought home a book on the Civil War from the south?"

Searching high and low, she eventually found the history section and, within that, the war history section. However, the inventory of Civil War books amounted to just a few, ratty, used, dog-eared paperbacks.

Finding this curious, she asked the storekeeper where the Civil War books were.

Looking over his glasses, the storekeeper flatly told my Mom from behind the counter, "Ma'am... You do know we lost that war, right?"

Be warned... By this time tomorrow, another generation of Gomes yankee will be in town.

From there, two days in NYC await.
