East, Then Back West


Plant City, Florida

The message came in mid-morning – a friend hadn’t made a flight, was re-routing to Orlando, two hours away. Of course I’ll make that run.

Weather was atrocious on the way east, but that evening we got together and laughed heartily – I have missed these Poynter pals greatly.

Southbound


Bell, Florida

Heading south for a return to the Poynter Institute, took the back-roads through Florida just to see something other than interstate. And what I saw was at time challenging.

The day did end with a wonderful meal with wonderful friends I had not seen in far too long.

Visiting


Bowling Green, Kentucky

As I was only an hour south, I wandered north to see my adviosr, now retired to his hometown in Kentucky. We had a wonderful couple of hours catching up, need to do that more often.

Long Day


Nashville, Tennessee

An early morning, a day of learning, an evening at the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum … tired just thinking about it.
