I'm back

I haven't blogged for a few days because I have been traveling.  This wasn't an exciting 'over the ocean' sort of trip.  Just a pleasant long weekend visit.  Some friends and I drove to Glasgow, KY to visit with other friends in a 'reunion' of fellow travelers to Finland last March.  We had a fun time (in some ways more fun than the trip - at least warmer). That was Saturday.  On Sunday five of us went to Nashville to do some touristy stuff.  The highlight was visiting The Country Music Hall of  Fame and Museum.  I'm not a huge country music fan and I didn't know quite what to expect but it was a really great place to visit. I especially enjoyed the projected video clips that were spaced along the walls between the various exhibits.  I got to hear Roy Rogers and Johnny Cash sing, along with several others.  Also, and this was really quite impressive, I got to see Elvis's gold plated Cadillac.  Actually, only the trim pieces like the door handles and mirrors were gold plated.  Still it was quite impressive.  The whole museum kept hitting me with blasts from my past.  Really fun.
