Georgia is gone with a bang.

While leaving Georgia I encountered several amusing sights:

I drove through Bethlehem, GA.  Cute.

Driving through , passed a sign for insurance salesman Rhett Butler - I kid you not -  he works for State Farm.

Driving through Athens, passed a barber shop called "Samson & Delilah".

Driving through Washington, passed a plantation that appears to now be a museum.  Confederate flag hanging by the front door and everything.  

BONUS:  About 20 seconds after crossing into SC, I'm informed that a good portion of Interstate 20 is named the "Strom Thurmond Highway".

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.


I decided that the only way to end this day was to eat at the Cracker Barrel.  :)

Weekend Wrap-Up From Chesapeake, VA

I spent the weekend in Raleigh and therefore did more important things than blog.  I slept in my own bed, walked around the house in my underwear, and saw some theatre.  Not as much as I had planned, but I got to see my Meredith ladies a bunch, and I got to eat breakfast at Gypsy's.  :)

I also got to wish Ashley Chandler Phillips farewell as she departed for the other coast.  :(  and  :)

Sorry if I was supposed to see you and then didn't.  (This means you, Athena and Brett and Lori.)

The last week was rough because it was a bunch of long distance drives in a row.  Leaving Columbia, we went as far southwest as Americus, GA (LOVELY town), but then it was right back to Asheville to stay at the actor house (5 hrs), and then up before 6am to get over to Lenoir (1.5 hrs), and then another 4 hour drive to get to Raleigh.  Whew.

I'll try to post some pictures sometime this week; Americus was very picturesque, and the theatre we performed at in Lenoir was pretty baller.

I haven't done or seen anything particularly exciting yet; my body is still adjusting to this whole 6am business, but the driving is much lighter this week, so perhaps I'll be able to get out and do stuff.  We're mostly in VA this week, with weekend performances at DC libraries both Saturday and Sunday - meaning no off days this weekend.  11 days of performances - no breaks.  This should be interesting.
