If you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, you know that I love going to concerts, symphonies, operas, plays, and musicals.

Ah, the continuing moving saga of the Bullock family. Part one of the Atlanta moving fiasco is here. I was hoping that after two weeks I’d have more good news to report on the move, but we’re still in a stalemate.
