I have not forgotten this blog–have merely fallen headfirst into the vat of work, which this week has involved travel to Birmingham (the one in Alabama) and back.

Birmingham might be my second choice of places to live besides the ATL. It has some surprisingly progressive and funky elements (at least the parts I’ve visited). And it also has

VULCAN

in his bare-butted glory.

And barbecue, but I didn’t get any this trip. If anyone has information on the best barbecue in Birmingham, I would be deeply grateful.
