Sleepwalking on the Cloud 9

[jack_babalon]

Dead tired. Our second date went later than expected. Took her to CSC down in Cabbage Town. We talked over red wine and an almond-honey glazed brie. Afterwards we walked around the neighborhood. I gave her the two dollar tour of all the old homes and eccentric gardens. Streams of Christmas lights hung like vines from driveways. Red bulbs lit up quiet windows. Toy dolls and silverware rose from the soil side by side with roses and gardenias. Morning Glorys grew wild around a 'No Parking' sign. The scent of Jasmine and Honeysuckle hung in the still air. She took my hand. She smiled at my nervous smile.

Thank you ma'am. I don't know about tonight, but when you come back to the ATl to visit from Milwaukee, you and your Mr.G should definetly try and take a stroll through Cabbagetown at night. There's a lot of character to the neighborhood that's somehow survived the Gentrification onslaught and it really comes out at night for some reason.
