Greetings from the South, or Happy belated 4th
July 4, 2009
Ugh. Been up since 3:30 this morning, PST. My watch says it's 4:00, so I think it's only 2 PM, PST. As I write this I'm sitting on a Continental shuttle-type jet bound for Nashville. I don't think I've ever been on a smaller jet – only three seats across; two on one side of the isle, one lonely seat on the other.
Caught a 5 AM shuttle to SFO. Aside from the usual hassles of dragging around luggage and checking in, everything went smoothly. Oh, well the girl wasn't feeling very well and may or may not have yakked in one or more bathrooms. I think it was mostly the lack of sleep, though Lisa would argue it could have been last night's "medium-well" hamburger. She's from the school of thought that no pink should remain in one's meat. I, on the other hand, while I don't like it dripping blood, think a touch of pink adds flavor. I will leave all meat and pink jokes alone. ANYWAY, the girl slept for a good part of the first leg of our journey and seems to be feeling fine now, though she does appear to be sleeping again.
Had about a 2 hour lay-over in Houston before we caught this flight. Nothing of excitement to report; No Leigh sightings, mediocre lunch at an airport Chili's. Battery dying. So logging off. Will continue on the ground…

So here we are in Tennessee. Below is a pic of the lake from the deck of the in-laws house.
And now, a pic of the house from the deck of my in-laws lake.
Last night one of their neighbors shot off some fireworks; much more than your basic backyard display.
So there you go – a little something to tide you over until we meet again. Hope you all had a great 4th of July.
