I drove 8 hours outbound yesterday, and 8 hours inbound today. I was gone for about 29 hours.

Was it worth it? Yes.
Would I do it again? Yes, but not tomorrow.
Is my ass worn out? Yes.

I’ll tell you; the drive on I-40 from North Carolina to Tennessee, and back, is beautiful.

The Smokey Mountains are one of a kind.

Anyway, in that short period of time I went to a “Jazz on the Lawn” deal, which turned out to be a “Salsa on the Lawn” deal, with some really really “hot” dancing…if you know what I mean.

I had a magnificent dinner and conversations with some old friends.

Sometimes, spur of the moment decisions are necessary. I didn’t decide to go until midnight Saturday.

Life is good.
