The other city in Tennessee

Spent a few days in Memphis this week. I didn't get anywhere near Graceland or the Big Muddy but I did get a flavor of the town. It seems like a laid-back place where people live and let live. Of course, it has a bit of a bloody history in the annals of civil rights. Hopefully, those days are behind them. I would like to go back and go down along the river (I have absolutely no interest in Graceland). Maybe later this year.

It's over 400 miles away, for goodness sakes. Hanging out with Steven is giving youa warped sense of distance. Besides, one of our local folks was ferrying me around. I'll get back in Indy or Louisville in the near future. See you then. I've been practicing my hugging skills (wink).

Well, when you put it that way...bring on the PB and banana sandwiches. With lots of mayo, of course.

Don't forget to deep-fry that bad boy!

How could I forget? Heat up the lard, Lucinda.

Well, Steven says I never had a sense of distance. I seem to think that an inch or two on the map should translate to a visit!

Keep practicing those hugging skills!! (wink)
