    Conquering Waterloo…I mean Walmart

    Ok.  I went to the Walmart to pick up some stuff. I put on regular pants, and shoes…still not comfortable with pajama pants and fuzzy slippers yet…and traveled over to get a few groceries and maybe hit up some after Christmas sales. I hate Christmas, but since I am retired now, I look for silly reasons… Read more

    The hill to the Capitol is HUGE!

    (in many ways) I guess I didn’t remember how many steps there were, it really doesn’t look like that many, from Charlotte Avenue to the Tennessee State Capitol building.  But my old legs reminded me that I ain’t quite as young as I think and choosing the cheapest parking does at times come with other costs.   … Read more
