I’m tired. I didn’t get a particular lot of sleep last night. Kind of a stressful drive, too. The longest one I’ve had yet (but read on for dire tidings in that department), and out in the middle of it, as far from anything as I was all day, the RV starts acting strange. It…
Well, I’m in Memphis doing a little laundry before I leave town, and you can’t leave the machines unattended. Well, I mean, you _can_, but the signs are written in a manner that suggests possible gunplay if you try it. So I brought along the laptop and I’m getting updates done. Late late late last…
Graceland. How do I start with Graceland? Elvis was always on the periphery of my musical tastes. I was more likely to enjoy an album by someone who was influenced by Elvis then by the real thing. Then again, he was responsible for songs like Suspicious Minds and His Latest Flame and Kentucky Rain and…
I’m talking _really_ late night. I’m talking well into tomorrow morning late night. Today was a wonderful but exhausting day, and tomorrow I’ve got the longest single-day drive of my trip so far. And I don’t know if it’s just me (my size makes an awful lot of life physically uncomfortable for me) or if…
Just a quick note before the office shuts down. Graceland and Memphis today. Great day. I’ll be writing more tonight, but it won’t go in until tomorrow morning. Thanks to everyone who’s been reading, and particularly to those who’ve been emailing me, it’s wonderful to hear from you. By the way, it’s hotter than hell…
What a generally excellent day. I mean, considering I had to get up at six in the morning (did anyone catch that I was completed screwed up with regard to the time change when I complained about having to get up at 5 “my time?” I left my watch set to EDT, but set the…
Yes, I’m walking in Memphis. The RV seems much happier now, thank you very much. It did set me back an alternator, a starter, and the labor to put them in, but, as I mentioned in my last report, better there than in the middle of the desert somewhere. When planning the trip, I had…
No sooner do I complain about not being able to find the good-food-at-good-prices, small-time, home-town kind of restaurants than I’m sitting in one. Capital Chevrolet (the wonderful folks who were the only ones in this time zone who’d said they could fit me in. When in Nashville, please stop in and buy several fine Chevrolets)…
Well, I’m in Nashville. More specifically, I’m just off the Briley Parkway. Okay, I’m actually on Music Valley Drive. Alright, alright, yes, I’m at Opryland. I know that seems like an odd place for one with my musical tastes to be hanging out. But when you imagine the type of folks who would probably enjoy…
Last update from Georgia. I realize that not much has gone on, particularly not much that was worthy of three updates in a day, but I’m still figuring out how this whole process is going to work. I was hoping to have phone hookups to the RV, but apparently those are pretty rare, but available…
