The show here in Atlanta is going. Lots of quality leads. It actually beats the response I’ve seen a shows many times larger. Not bad for a two-man table!
The flight here was smooth, too. I flew Delta because, well, it’s Atlanta. After hopping off the plane, I decided to forgo the tram in favor of walking to baggage claim. I was treated to a nice invigorating walk (seemingly across county lines) and a nice display of African stone artwork.
My walking actually beat the tram, since I was one of the first to get to the baggage carousel. My bag was just rolling around when I arrived, so I scooped it up and turned around. Approaching me was a well-dressed African-American man wearing a Bluetooth headset and followed by a large gaggle of relatives.
I recognized him instantly. It was Emmitt Smith, arguably the greatest running back in NFL history. I was amused to watch this same athlete who once navigated blocks on the way to the NFL’s all-time rushing record now navigate the menu of the luggage-cart machine.
Man, I thought he’d have people to do that. Even if he still collects his own luggage – and he seemed pretty down-to-earth to me – I’m guessing he didn’t leave on the MARTA the way I did!
