Off to Nashville

Tomorrow bright and early I leave for Nashville.  Not looking forward to getting up super early, but the flight is only a couple of hours, and it’s direct, so that’s pretty much as easy as it can be.  I will be home tomorrow night, only a day trip, but I will have time for dinner. …
