My favorite memory from Atlanta is the flight back. An incredible babe named Kelley was sitting next to me. She was easy to talk to and easier on the eyes. Things were good until she asked if I had any roommates.
But that's OK. Apparently she has a boyfriend Zach. Saved by the fasten your seatbelts bell.

One of my favorite memories from Atlanta is how the World of Coke tour makes you think of better days gone by.

One of my favorite memories from Atlanta was dining at the desolate Mexican restaurant down the street from Hard Rock Cafe. The service was speedy, the food filling, and the beer on special. The TV showed a Hispanic BMX competition. Near the end of the meal, the beer started to smell like vomit, so I finished it with one big swallow and headed for the door.

One of my favorite memories from Atlanta is the time a kind bum struck up a conversation on the MART. We talked about the Braves struggles leaving runners on base. I said the game tonight would have been 10-2 if they could just move 'em around. He said too many injuries this year.
The little fella was wearing a Jeff Gordon hat and was short a few teeth. It was hard not to like him. So an afterthought later when he scurried up the escalator to ask if I had anything to spare, I gave him 50 cents.

One of my favorite memories from Atlanta is the hotel room on the 56th floor. The third or fourth thing I did on entering was look out the window. There was a big mound in the hazy distance. Then I queued up four Lil Wayne songs on Youtube, took my shirt off, and jumped on the king-size bed for a minute. I think next I got a cup of water from the bathroom faucet.

Wow, today was a pretty good day. Here are two gold nuggets Flint McLaughlin shared with his audience:
"When you grow up in the Yukon with 3,000 books and an axe, you don't get to see Star Wars."
"For as good as it is in English, you really should read Aristotle's Poetics in the Ancient Greek. It is beautiful."

Dang, I can't say today wasn't an alright day.
First, Flint McLaughlin told us a personal anecdote about a day he was sitting around the pool with his family...
Now, Flint has been married for 20-odd years, so he knows his wife would rather he not mix business and family time. But old Flint has his head so far up, I mean, into the game that he's learned to coyly steal glances at his iPhone. And on this particular day... you'll never believe it... Flint received... an email. An email... from a business associate.
Now, I don't know about you, but receiving emails has never been so exhilirating in my experience. It would probably be more fun to do a cannonball or dive to the bottom of the pool for those ring toys.
Flint later handed the mike over to Boris Grinkot. Boris emphasized the importance of communication with a slide that said communication. Here's Boris:
