Genghis Khan! Edit! Run! Cloud Atlas!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:32 pm  

This morning Kathy and Ashley headed to Tennessee to serve at a missions conference. I sure was glad that K went with her. That’s a long way to drive by yourself.

Jesse and I ate breakfast then went over to Fernbank to see the new exhibit featuring Genghis Khan.

We thought it was worth seeing. Did you know he had the largest land empire of anyone in history?
m
Even more than the Roman Empire or Alexander the Great.

I thought the artifacts were interesting.

And the pictures of stars.

Came home to rest and I finished editing the video of Adam Eason. I’m uploading it to YouTube now.

Went for a 4.97 mile around my neighborhood with Sugar this afternoon. It was kind of cool and my knees hurt a bit. Gave myself a haircut before I went.

Beautiful trees! And flowers!

Took a quick shower and then headed for Cloud Atlas with Jesse.

It was a long movie, nearly three hours! But it was really well done. We both enjoyed it.

Back home now to work on admin duties.

I have a team in town tomorrow morning in Chamblee. Looking forward to that!

J and I thought this sign on a truck was weird!
r

High tech. NOT.

I liked the purple colored shadows outside the movie theater.

Podcast! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:03 pm  

Had a fun day creating a new podcast on Thursday! It was inspired by a 4 hour sunset I observed on the way back to the States from the UK. Check out Chasing Sunset! A great way to end the day! Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Wrote checks for the bills that aren’t auto debit.

Also edited the video I shot while I was in the UK with Anthony Jacquin and Adam Eason.

Enjoyed some delicious Mexican food with Kathy, Ashley and Jesse! Woot!

England!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:20 am  

Got back from a amazing time in the UK! I liked our new International Terminal! Jesse took me to the airport!
i
j
This seemed appropriate to me. It means goodbye in Swahili!
s
Normally, I stay in London when I travel. This times I landed in Birmingham which is much closer to my friend Anthony Jacquin an his family who live in Derby, England.

It was a beautiful part of rural England called the Midlands.

They live on a farm with horses, cows and sheep. Absolutely gorgeous!

It reminded me a lot of Kenya. I forget just how much British influence there is in East Africa.
b
c
The Jacquin family made me feel right at home!
j

The main reason I went was to attend the big engagement/wedding party for my good friend Amit Badiani.

It was good to see my Brit friends all in one place.

My last day in the UK we met up with Kev Sheldrake and drove up to London.

My new friend Adam Eason spoke about self hypnosis to a packed house. It was very interesting.

I picked up the train the next morning headed back to Birmingham after staying at the Generator hostel.
g
I made it safely on to Amsterdam where I picked up my flight back to Atlanta!

It was a gorgeous 4 hour sunset on my flight home! What an ending to a wonderful visit!
