Few places are more beautiful than Atlanta in the Spring

The 2013 Dakar Rally Is Here!
06 Sunday Jan 2013
Posted in Jones' Memories, Motorcycles, The Good Life, Travel
Day 2 of the ’07 Dakar Rally. Early morning in Portimao Portugal. This would be the last time I’d see Chris before the finish line 15 days later…and about 20 lbs lighter (Chris, not me).
It’s that time of year again! As many of you know the Dakar Rally holds a pretty big place in our hearts. Not only is Chris one of less than 20 North Americans to finish the race, he is also one of the last to have crossed the line in the rally’s birthplace, Dakar Senegal. It was a crazy adventure filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows – for both of us. And we couldn’t be more proud of the accomplishment. Our hearts are still heavy from losing a dear friend but we couldn’t be more grateful for the lifelong friendships that were formed during that time. Here is a link to Chris’ Dakar Journal.
Congratulations to all of the racers who have made it to the start of this year’s Dakar in Lima Peru, you’ve already won half the battle!
Chris and Steve at the finish of the ’07 Dakar Rally in Dakar Senegal. We didn’t know it at the time but this would be the last finish in Dakar Senegal. After terrorists threatened to kidnap the North American racers in both ’07 and ’08 the Rally was moved to South America and it has been there ever since.
And here’s me taking a sorority photo with a camel in the Sahara! Delta Delta Delta can we help ya help ya help ya?
Regina Brett’s 45 (+5) Lessons Life Has Taught

Who doesn’t admire Iris Apfel? Her photo has been attached to this list several times.
Regina Brett’s 45 life lessons and 5 to grow on
As published in The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio, Sunday May 28, 2006. “To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written. My odometer rolls over to 50 this week, so here’s an update:”
*Note from Spice: My favorite part of this is the fact that a few years back someone changed Regina Brett’s bio tag to read her age was 90. They then attached a photo of a little old lady smoking a cigar and sent it into the webverse. People have been sending her notes congratulating her on making it to 90 ever since. Snopes.com has labeled her an official Urban Legend. Pretty cool.
Here’s the original list – it’s pretty good. I’ve seen a number of copies with “45 Lessons” in the title but only 32 lessons listed. After reading Regina’s original I discovered the ones pertaining to God are usually removed. They’re pretty important to me so I left them in for you guys to read… or not. Number 1 is my top pick for teens and number 40 is what I’d love to shout from Mount Sanitas for all of Boulder to hear. Number 25 is such an important reminder for all of us and of course number 18 is the one speaking directly to me these days…along with all of the others that don’t pertain to children.
1/1 Hipster Special in Inman Park With Private Garage = Open Again!

Our fabulous condo in Inman Park – love this place!
Once again Chris and I are offering a way for you to buy coolness at the extremely low rate of $1100/month. This place is so hip Scoutmob called to see if they could offer it as a Featured Deal. I know I know, you’re thinking “Isn’t this the place you were renting back in April? What happened to the one year lease and the ultra-cool guy who got it before anyone else could even take a look?” Well, because the apartment is SOOOO fabulous he actually landed a girl AND a higher paying job… unfortunately both are out of state.
So here’s the Craigslist ad along with the photos (a little crummy due to Andriod technology). It will be avail starting Sept 1st (potentially Aug 18th). If you’re interested in taking a look give Chris a call on his cell (404-354-1205), he’s planning to start showing it this weekend.
