Many of you have already seen it but if you haven’t, check out the Stone Mountain piece. This morning I went in and cut some of the over-long intro, which I know (because YouTube tells me) was causing people to stop watching. This is a learning process for me. The video still isn’t as tight as it should be but I’m not going to re-litigate the whole thing. Stone Mountain is worth knowing about, and we did capture people saying interesting things about it.
