“Travel brings power and love back into your life.”-Rumi

I’ll be on vacation for nine days, starting tomorrow. The Chef and I are road-tripping it to Texas to visit some of my in-laws. Several posts are pre-scheduled, so the blog won’t be on radio silence whilst I am away. Answering comments might be a bit trickier, but I’ll do my best.

This is my response to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Time.

Mercer-Williams House Museum

*Mercer-Williams House Museum. Savannah, Georgia.

*The Mercer-Williams House Museum is, of course, closely associated with John Berendt’s overrated 1994 non-fiction book, **Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It also has a rather loose association to Johnny Mercer, which is more up the alley of my interests.

**Thus, the rather tenuous association with this week’s challenge.

No, that’s not Burger King…it’s King Gambrinus (“The Drunken King”).

For years, beginning in the early twentieth century, he stood watch over the August Wagner Brewery (originally Gambrinus Brewery). Now, he conducts his eternal revels around the corner from my apartment.
