May 21, Thursday Dennis and I were up by 7, and breakfasted and packed read to go by about 8:30. Dennis headed back to Indy, and I headed first for Morristown to talk to Laura about vans. Unfortunately, even though she was more than willing to donate the vans, the weekend of the national is also a national guard weekend, so all the van’s were already reserved. Dang it. Laura gave me a number for the Abington VA Enterprise, and maybe I can make a deal with them. After that disappointment, I rode down the west side of the Great Smokey [View Full Entry]

Well, I have to apologize for that last post. I'll admit it, it got weird there at the end. I do think I get at least a partial pass because I have neither written in awhile, nor do I usually go through any form of surgery. I guess I should say upfront, that this isn't so much a travel blog, yet, but hopefully it will fully develop into that before the year is up. I know that travel is travel, but I was thinking more of cross global adventures instead of just going down the street to Birmingham. But, hey, [View Full Entry]

So, here's the story so far. My roommate, Kay, and I moved to Alabama to get out and away from the mire of our previous lives. We moved here to be closer to our common college friends. Here we found that the land of milk of honey, fill of the government's bounty of contracting companies, was just as hard to get into as any other place we've been. It's actually really annoying. Of course, at the time, we didn't know that the world was about to collapse. I know, I know, it didn't actually collapse, but I think its been [View Full Entry]

May, 1980 - Marshall Space Flight Center The space program is conducted at various locations around the country. NASA oversees the Kennedy Space Flight Center at Cape Canaveral, the Johnson Space Flight Center in Houston and the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. In Huntsville, Karen and I saw America's space achievements as a single, unified movement. We visited Twickenham, Huntsville's historical district. Before leaving Alabama, we went to Muscle Shoals. There is a music industry there, but I could only locate a couple of studios. There was nothing to com [View Full Entry]

Although the title says "DC", I have to admit that I was mostly in Arlington, VA and Silver Springs, MD...not DC at all. I guess, though that it is not so important where I was exactly, but with whom I spent my time. Sidenote: The great thing about Austin, TX (where I live), is that people are from all over. The worst thing about Austin, TX is that because people are from all over, they're less likely to stay for the long run. It's a great place to go to school, start a career, maybe stay for a few years [View Full Entry]

After the week in the Pacific, I spent another day in California before flying back to Memphis. I moved to Jackson, TN to work for a couple days, then headed to Nashville for New Year's Eve. Went back to club Play downtown. Haven't had that much fun on New Year's in many years. I made some friends, then headed to Alabama. I spent a week in Huntsville. Had some very good times in Huntsville, and wish I didn't have to leave. When I wrote my first entry in August, I couldn't have imagined the places this trip would take me. All [View Full Entry]
