So, Why do I love thee Atlanta?

.Reading time 6 minutes.

So, Atlanta. Why oh why do I love thee? It’s complicated.   Honestly, you had me at Peachtree. Every time we went to the grand ole Capitol of GA when I was a kid I loved it. Even through my teen years, when I lived there for my first career jobs, and more recently visiting […]

So Ernest Hemingway, you rock- But why you treat me so bad???

.Reading time 3 minutes.

So, I finally finished A Farewell to Arms by this literary genius called Hemingway. You may have heard his name a time or 2000. I personally love, love, love his writing style. It is plain-spoken and conversational and kind of odd, at least in this novel. Don’t know much about it? It is set in […]
