Gem City to Classic City and Back

The next few days in the Dawg Nation will be ones to remember. I can’t remember a stretch over a weekend with such promise. The Rotary Club of Marietta Park to Park Fun Run is the first of what I hope will be many race tee shirts for me. The starting line is at the First United Methodist Church in Marietta and begins at 8:00 AM.

After that, we’ll head to Athens to meet Chris Troxel of the Retractable Awning Canopy Company to see a great product that I hope to at least promote if not sell through Total Team Sports. Chris will be at the Tate Center Parking lot before the game and East Campus after.

Look for him!

We may have to stop by Glory Glory in Lawrenceville on the way to see the Lewis’. I can never drive that close to such a great selection of Dawg Stuff and not stop in. We may try and run by The Blind Pig Tavern to see the DawgVent folk. They kinda scare me so that is subject to change.

Oh yeah, then the G-Day Game!

After the game, I need to run by and see some old team mates at the Lettermen’s Bar-B-Que, but I want to go see  the baseball game. Tomorrow, Chance Veazey is throwing out the first pitch. You should all come support the Diamond Dawgs and Chance. I know a lot of you are planning to anyway.

As Ole Lady Luck would have it, both of my sons will be in Athens tomorrow. Ryan lives in Athens and works for UGA, Sean will be coming up from Milledgeville(Georgia College and State University). I may get the see them as well.

How’s that for a Saturday.

Sunday, I will be out with some kickers in the afternoon. I start with a new kid from Wheeler HS.  I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Monday, I will be playing in The Boy’s and Girl’s Club Golf Tournament at The Marietta Country Club. You may want to avoid the vicinity. My old room/team mate,  Frank Ros is playing this year.

Have a great weekend Dawgs! As the kids say, it could be epic!

    Rex,

    Enjoyed meeting your lovely wife today.

    I think you found a great new way to deliver shade to the tailgate. I look forward to seeing this product with a big red “G” on it.
