Oh God.
You may have heard about the shooting at 2nd and St Charles today at the truck parades. We were just leaving the parades when it happened. I was at the car, but Leslie, Marnie, Jack were at the parade route. Leslie heard the shots and dived on my mom. Jack ran after the kids (18 and 19) who did it. According to the news, cops found 3 guns at the scene, and the kids were booked with 7 counts of 1st degree murder, and one was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Susan and I didn’t hear the shots over the sound of the trucks and a band of hippie kids beating on some drums, but we saw a ton of cop cars going the wrong way down 3rd. We knew something was going on, but didn’t know until they came back dragging the rest of our stuff.
Leslie is my hero, and I’m so glad they weren’t hurt. Thanks to everyone who called and texted to find out if we were ok. It was an exciting end to a fun day.
Happy Mardi Gras everyone!
Hope all is well in Connecticut!
It’s a sad day for Saints fans. It’s a sad day for our dog. Who is also named Deuce McCallister. Now our dog is a free agent.
I thought it would be easier to pack up and leave Atlanta, but the fact that I’m leaving Leslie behind is making it very difficult.
Well, last day here at Georgia Tech. I start at the Collection on Feb 16th.
It’s a good feeling, but I am also sad to say goodbye to my friends here.
That’s not going to stop me from going around to everyone today and saying “So long, suckers!”
