I'm travelling this week - flew from Oakland to Denver - Denver to Nashville - rented a car in Nashville and drove down to Huntsville, AL. Spent the night on Wednesday night in Huntsville, did my "thing" today and then drove back up to Nashville. Took a side trip...

Tonight I went into downtown Nashville and things were NUTS there. CMA Music Fest is going on tonight - Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, Julianne Hough, Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts and Darius Rucker. The streets of Nashville were packed. I just wanted to grab some dinner (and a beer) and get back to watch the NBA Finals. I would have liked to see some of the acts, but I had no idea that this was going on until it was a little too late. Plus, it just wouldn't seem right to go without my wife. I also wanted to check out a few places, but the sea of people just made me beeline back to the hotel.
Tomorrow I am heading up to Bowling Green, KY for another work related "deal" and tomorrow night I'm hoping to catch up with an old friend.
I've eaten VERY well - Gibson's BBQ last night (
here), G's Country Kitchen (
here) for lunch today and Blackstone Brewery (
here) for dinner tonight. The folks in the South are so friendly it makes me want to move here...oh, wait...the weather...oh well...
Speaking of weather - there's some nutty weather pattern that's descending on Nashville - they keep cutting into the basketball game saying that we're about to see some serious weather...nice...

I feel at home here in the South and enjoy the good food and kind people.
I miss home, but don't get back until Saturday.
From the road,
