The short version is that I’m back in Memphis for the foreseeable future (i.e. at least the next two weeks). I’m actually back in the same hotel room I vacated two and a half weeks ago… Incidentally, there is something exceedingly disturbing about spending so much time in hotels you get to know the idiosyncrasies of individual rooms.

Making any prediction beyond what the next two weeks holds would be shooting in the proverbial dark.

I drove down this time and up until the last two hours had a fantastic trip down the Shenandoah Valley and diagonally across Tennessee. A picture perfect drive… actually it was a little too hazy to be picture perfect, but still nice… until the rain started. More on the drive will follow when I manage to sort out some of the cryptic notes I was keeping.
