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 in August here. I’m scared of what it’ll be like when it gets to _be_ August here…
Last night I wandered around Seaport Village, an upscale clump of shops (“clump of upscale shops” also works, but somehow “upscale clump” sends a more accurate picture of what’s going on here) nestled between the bay, the hotels, and the convention center. It’s a short walk from the convention center, and it’s climatically perfect at…
My last night in Las Vegas. The time I’m writing this qualifies as “late night,” but I’m actually in a casino at the moment. No, not gambling. I learned my lesson pretty quickly (more on that later). I’m here having a late dinner. All the casinos have all night restaurants in them, just so you…

Tonight’s update brought to you by the numbers 145 and 115, and the letters A and C. You’ll get it later. Well, New Mexico and Arizona had both been nothing like what I had expected: flat, brown, and hot. Why should California go according to plan? The bad part is, I thought California was going…
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…
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…
