Yeah, that's Larry McMurtry (see the first blog entry). We just learned how to add pictures to this thing. We will add pictures as we go; but we are way too tired now. It is 10:15 p.m. (Atlanta time) and we are completely worn out.We left Meridian, Mississippi and went by Univ. of Alabama and saw the ginormous f-ball stadium and the original Dreamland in Tuscaloosa. Then we ate at the Dreamland in Birmingham. Got to Atlanta mid-afternoon. We are in the Amerisuites in downtown Hotlanta tonight. Not really all that hot, though. Had us some good southern cookin' at Mary Mac's tea room tonight--cheese grits, real mac n' cheese, something called pot likker (still don't want to know what that was--but Lauren said it was good).
If you are wondering about this entry's title, we stopped at the Georgia Welcome Center when we crossed into our new home state--to pick up some hotel coupons (which we used tonight!). Lauren was talking with a man from Roswell, Georgia--she told him we are from Texas, to which he replied, "That is a nation, isn't it?"
That's right--Texans in a foreign land. Here we go. Off to Carrollton tomorrow.
Onward and upward.

Larry looks like a very serious man. I guess books are kinda serious, so he seems to be in the right line of work.
Larry McMurtry's son James is a singer/songwriter, who recorded with Dwight Yoakam, among others.
So we're less than 6 degrees from Dwight. Good things.
Lauren should create a Google account, and then you can give both of your accounts admin privileges on the blog, so that it'll show which one of you posts an update or comments.
