While in Savannah, Georgia for Kara and Zach’s wedding, Kelly and I had a chance to spend a day with a couple of Kelly’s good friends from college.

Charlie and Emory had visited us in New York City a few months ago when we all went to a Camera Obscura show at Webster Hall. They live in a house — yes, an actual grown-up house! — in Gainesville, Florida. In honor of Father’s Day (and to see us!) they made the drive back to Charlie’s hometown of Savannah.

I have several friends (including Kara and Zach) who are alumnus of the über-artsy Savannah College of Art and Design and they all agreed it’s a common occurrence to have sporadic intense thunderstorms that last only a few minutes. (The most disappointing part is that the rain does nothing to break the hellish humidity.) The timing of this storm was impeccable. It had been a perfectly sunny day until about an hour before the 5 p.m. ceremony. That’s when the sky suddenly turned dark and we heard the distant rumble of thunder. Continue reading »
