Stone Mountain

Many people decide somewhere along the way in life that the serenity of living in the mountains will be more fulfilling than chasing success in the rat race of the city.

Not only did I have the impending storm to worry about, I’d seen that the last cogwheel train down the mountain was at 5:00pm. Waiters threw white tablecloths over the weathered wooden tables, where we sat sipping freshly squeezed orange juice, eating buttermilk pancakes and grits, and looking out over a view so beautiful it made you ache.
