snellville: Snellville/Brookwood Blog is Back- Run the Reagan and More - 02/27/11 09:53 PM
Hi everyone. It has been a minute since I was able to blog. With the passing of my wife's father, I have been the daddy and the mommy for 2 weeks. Suffice to say, it has been busy.
Many things have gone on in the last couple of weeks.
1. Run the Reagan was a great success. Last Saturday (2/19/11), they closed Ronald Reagan Parkway. Participants could run a 5K or run the entire highway. They had local sponsors and set up an area for kids to play. My kids had a blast- no, I didn't run but enjoyed the festivities … (0 comments)

snellville: Gwinnett County Cancels School Tomorrow/State of Emergency in Georgia - 01/09/11 11:11 PM
Gwinnett County canceled school tomorrow. Governor Sonny Purdue, in what is most likely his last act as governor, declared a state of emergency.
I was out earlier this evening around 9:00 p.m. in Snellville. 124 was totally covered in just about 30 minutes of snow fall. In the 2 minutes it took to return a movie and go back to my car, the car was covered.
Driving is very dangerous now. The downtown connector has an overturned truck. The DOT put a mix of salt and gravel down on the roads prior to the snow to avoid icing over.
It appears … (0 comments)
