  Scott Kenan In the early 1990s, I first drove into Mexico at Tijuana in a rented car with seven marijuana joints hidden in the fuse box (no telling, if found, how long they'd been in a RENTED car, no???). They were to help my friend Ed Catherwood of Atlanta EAT, as he was bad off with both AIDS and AIDS meds. But HERE'S the kicker: Ed's GREAT-GREAT-UNCLE was Frederick Catherwood -- the FIRST white archaeologist to take Mexican Cultures SERIOUSLY!!!: http://archaeology.about.com/.../Stephens-and-Catherwood.htm

  Scott Kenan I was the most uptight TWIT back then imaginable, and Ed Catherwood grew POUNDS of pot in his very upscale Atlanta neighborhood, so we snuck it on the plane cross-country as well. Ed's neighbors, including the founder of The Pleasant Peasant and Peasant Restaurant Group who FAKED GOING STRAIGHT in the 1990s to get more Christians to patronize their many iconic Atlanta restaurants -- all having CLOTH NAPKINS and LIVE PIANISTS, also grew pot for Ed. He had a bedroom in his mammoth house that had one bedroom that was as packed as a tobacco-drying warehouse, but more pungent. Ed had been a Vice President of H&R Block, so TODAY, April 15, was always a Day of High Profit to Ed!!!
