Georgia on my mind

When I took Andy out for his 10PM walk last night, there wasn't a breath of air stirring, and it was so quiet, all you could hear was a dog barking in the distance and a couple of cars driving down Highway 64. Tonight was another story.

It might have been tree frogs, or maybe it was crickets, but whatever it was, they were chirping up a storm. They didn't all chirp at one time: it sounded like one group called, then another group answered. The Hallelujah Chorus came to mind.

The more I listened, the more it started sounding like at Sanford Stadium, in the middle of a big game, when one side of the stadium roars GEOR-GIA, and the other side yells BULL-DOGS, back and forth. In the eighties, it would be HER-SCHEL, then WAL-KER.

Georgia football season 2008 is looming.


This is one sorry video but the point is the sound, not the picture. Listen.

Ellen,
You are getting more and more creative!!! You should be writing a novel because you certainly are talented with you words and you make a person feel as though they are right there in the moment.
