a l w a y s s o m e t h i n g n e w

while i was bummed to be out of town again last week, i generally make a point of doing as many new things as i possibly can while i'm on the road.

new things that i experienced while in tennessee:

1. met a new sort-of-famous person
2. drove from nashville, tn, to memphis, tn
3. drove briefly into arkansas
4. ordered a beer with my dinner room service
5. went to graceland
6. ate fried pickles at a big foot themed restaurant
7. had my arm pinched by a homeless man who was eating french fries and drinking a beer while walking down the street
8. visited autozone's headquarters
9. ate ribs at rendezvous
10. saw live music on beale street
11. got my picture taken with a man who called himself charles the ambassador (which you can see above)

and in other news, team porcubimmer witnessed sadness and some disappointment at the 24 hours of lemons race this weekend. not too many places have reported it, but there was a death on the tracks on saturday afternoon, the cause of which is still under investigation (police didn't find anything wrong with the car). the porcubimmer was in the pits at the time, thanks to some mechanical issues.

in spite of this tragedy, everyone was back again this morning to try to enjoy the rest of the event. the porcubimmer guys made the necessary repairs for a triumphant return to the track, only to get crashed into right away, taking out the transmission. on the bright side, the team won the "i got screwed" award, for having put so much effort into getting going again, only to be taken out of the race for good immediately after.

they obviously made an impression on the organizers, which was nice because they have all worked really hard on this project over the last several months. hopefully they will get a chance to get out there and do it again later this year.

last, but not least...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

i started off my month of april entries in pretty much the exact same place as i'm starting may. sitting in the same hotel in franklin, tn, preparing for who knows what with who knows who.

my jet-setting ways seem to impress some people, and when i'm in the proper mood, they impress me, as well.

i'm tired of traveling. i miss being home. i miss my friends.

missing...missing...missing...
