Savannah.

Ah, three days, two nights in Georgia's oldest city. Savannah, if you've never been there, is like New Orleans but as of late a lot dryer and no one's ever shot Ray Davies there (to my knowledge). I did a lot by accomplishing nothing. Here's a few things I did, just to make you jealous:

1. I ate. And ate. And ate and ate and ate. Raw oysters, oysters rockefeller, escargot, duck patte', quail, asparagus quiche, tomato basil bisque, smoked salmon, pumpkin cheesecake, creole omelets, panne cotta gelato, beignets, etc. My palate was livin' larger than Biggie ever had it.

2. I drank. And drank. And drank and drank and drank. Bloody Maries and Sam Adams draft. That's not an incredibly exciting list, but I did drink a Sam Adams out of a coconut carved into a monkey head. The called it a "Monkey Nut" but I refuse to. Having a "monkey nut" sounds too much like something Sigourney Weaver may have done during the outtakes of "Gorillas in the Mist."

3. I took a lot of pictures, mostly involving me wearing a driver's cap and thinking I look cool.

4. I walked up 178 steps to the top of a lighthouse and then in one blinding second got terrified that my nephew was going to either fall off the ledge or accidentily push me off of it.

5. Spent 10 minutes getting a kite 400 ft into the beach sky only to spend the next hour getting it back down again. Remember, it was December 31st and I was barefoot on the Atlantic flying a kite. Nice way to end the year.

6. Went to two cemetaries and cleaned off what I believe may have been Johnny Mercer's Dad's grave.7. Got kissed by a good-looking newlywed bride.

8. Got asked for my autograph because someone thought I was Dane Cook.

9. Watched my nephew get life advice from a homeless man. Because, you know, no one knows the secret to success quite like a man who's pan handling for cigarettes and carrying around a guitar with no strings. His advice? "Join the military." Riiiight.

10. Had a blast.

Ok, that's my trip to Savannah in a nut shell. I'll post some pictures as soon as I can.

All my Bestestest,
