The survey showed that households with discretionary income of more than $1.35 million now view real estate as a bargain.

Arthur Blank, owner of the Falcons and Atlanta it seems, has put his mansion on the block for $10.9 million.  Blah blah blah.  The gem of the article above is the ‘discretionary income of more than $1.35 million’ statement.  How many people does then encapsulate?  Seriously, 135,000,000 pennies of discretionary income?  Hell, in these times, what is this discretionary income of which they remark?  If I have discretionary income now, it’s only because I forgot to pay a bill.

Daddy and Devin Day is upon us!  Saturday, April 19, 2008.  Mrs. Xpinionated will be scrapbooking and girl talking her Saturday with friends.  It’s the jump off.  Daddy and Devin will be touring the Metro Atlanta area getting into all sorts of mischief.

The day will start after Devin’s afternoon nap.  We will head downtown to the car show at the World Congress Center.  Take in some automobiles and hope for some hot car models with a soft spot for handsome babies so daddy can take pictures to show off to his folks.  After that, we’ll head back out to the ‘burbs.  Depending on the time, we may just go chill at the mall or we may go get an early dinner at either Hooters or Triple Play (or whatever the name of the new bar some friends of mine are working at).  I’m leaning toward Triple Play since that will give some folks to see Devin that haven’t seen him in a while.  But then there is the appeal of Hooters…ah time will tell.  After that, we may stop at home to re-up on some supplies.  Then it is off to watch the Georgia Force game. 

Ok, I admit it.  Perhaps it’s really just Daddy day and he’s taking the baby!  But Devin will have fun!!!  I mean it!!!!!
