9 mile hike at Chickasaw Bluffs instead of Graceland.
Dinner with gingerales and rum. We hung out with friend from high school and her husband, and yes, gingerale and rum goes together.
Maybe Graceland tomorrow even though it costs more money than it’s worth.
I accidentally planned one more day in Memphis than I thought. There is a [...]

Although inspired to just stop driving in Nashville and live with James in his Airstream Nirvana, we had to leave. We made it to Memphis without incident. Well, without any bad incidents. There were a few incidents like stopping for gas, checking email, calling Andy’s phone from my phone to make him think he was [...]

Very inspirational.

I was just re-reading some of my past entries and I would just like to state that I really don’t drink (liquor) as much as it seems like. It’s just that when I’m drinking fun (and funny) things happen.
Either that or I am in a serious state of denial and need an intervention.
I am in [...]

We made it to Nashville and spent the evening at the Blue Bird Cafe. We watched The Thing Called Love last week. It’s a old and bad (2 1/2 stars….bad but okay) movie featuring the Blue Bird Cafe. For fun, I looked it up on the web and wrote down the [...]

On the road to Nashville. It’s raining and I’m drinking tea as we glide down the highway in the stealthy black Cadillac. The air smells like wonderful midwestern air. My soul is being restored.

We’re in Indianapolis at Noah’s house. We just finished drinking a few Blue Moon beers and watching the Denver Broncos lose at a local sports bar. Okay, maybe one too many beers. When getting out of the car I was overwhelmed by my pack and fell on my back into a bush.
It’s raining here [...]

21. Driving in the State of Nevada is a _____.
A. birthright
B. entitlement
C. right
D. privilege
That’s right people, it’s a privilege and I am one of the privileged. I have jumped through THE MAN’S hoops and can now drive with a little less money and a few more bits of driving trivia.
We just got back from spending [...]

It is snowing. Really, real snow and everything. Cold. It’s more like half sleeting, half snowing, with all of it blowing parallel to the ground.
To say the least, it’s not great. I forgot how not great this weather is. Once a year, I come back and remember why I migrated west. Thank you for [...]

We made it to Chicago. It’s a good thing too because I forgot to post my obligatory “I love you all” post before flying, in case of a fiery crash.
After getting in around 3 am and then reading for an hour or so before sleeping, we pretty much slept all day. Okay, I slept all [...]

I am almost ready to shut down my laptop and scamper off mysteriously into the night. We’re staying at The Paris Hotel tonight and leaving for Chicago tomorrow at 7:30 in the evening.
Finally leaving Vegas….thank gods.

Surfing the internet. Watching Andy research and wait for the oven to preheat to cook his frozen pizza lunch. Bikram yoga at 3. My mysterious ways have been exposed.

We’re flying out to Chicago for Thanksgiving to visit Andy’s parents. I’m much more excited for the trip since they decided to come to Chicago to celebrate at Andy’s sister’s house. I know this doesn’t have the same happy impact on those of you reading this that haven’t had the experience of hanging out with [...]
