And Where is Baxley???

I was born in NC but raised in the Deep South - Baxley, GA to be exact. It's ok if you've never heard of the place. You and 99.9% of the rest of the world. It's a pretty boring place but I did learn a lot of things that I wouldn't have learned living in the suburbs or the city - roosters don't just crow in the mornings, ghosts are real, news really does travel faster in small towns, neither movie theaters nor cable tv are necessities in life, fried chicken tastes better when fried in lard.

Driving to Richmond

It’s amazing. I’ve been driving to Richmond for work for over 4 years now. I go almost every Tuesday and Wednesday (staying over Tuesday night). MTH talks about moving back there but because I feel like I’ve never left, I really would rather not. Of course, if that is what makes sense at some point, then that’s what we’ll do. It is a lot less expensive than DC. But, there’s also less to do. It’s also crazy how well I know the different exits between mile markers 84 and 170 on I-95. I know which ones have gas stations close to the exits and which ones don’t. To pass the time, I usually call people on my cell phone. It’s one of the ways that I try to keep up with talking on the phone. Some of you are probably already aware of this practice of mine :)
