says Always glad to be in Memphis.  Being greeted with overcast skies and cold is just delicious icing on the cake.

says In Austin, it seems even the drunk St. Patrick's Day revelers are polite and friendly. I'd pinch myself but I'm already weari

says I saw my first pelican in the Pelican State about two minutes in. Also: a lost dog. Or, perhaps they are partners?

says Sade looks amazing! How does she look younger than in the 80s?

A year ago I'd spent the day freezing in D.C. after taking multiple trains there from NY. Today I'm sitting comfortably outdoors in Decatur.

Either I'm seeing some snow or tiny styrofoam pellets. Or...?

It's a darn beautiful 2010! Enjoy it!

As my parents head home after a wonderful visit, I'm reminded of Dr. Seuss: "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”

Merry Christmas, y'all!

Hey gorgeous day, thanks for coming my way!
