Is there anything funnier than tiny cat pants?
It seems unlikely, but my goal in life is to find out.

Like Donnell Alexander says, "It's about completing the task of living with enough spontaneity to splurge some of it on bystanders, to share with others working through their own travails a little of your bonus life." But, it's mostly the kind of place that folks looking for "girls and cars" stumble across by accident.

The Butcher--My youngest brother, who lives with me and works as, you guessed it, a butcher. He knows everyone in town.
The Recalcitrant Brother--Our middle brother, who lives in rural Georgia and has a kind of movie star life, if that movie star is Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.
The Reverend--Our Dad, a Methodist minister, perpetually three years from retirement.
Mom--Our Mom. She doesn't get a funny nickname because our mom will not stand for funny nicknames.
Mrs. Wigglebottom--My dog. She's got terrible manners.
The Corporate Shill--Or The Shill, as we call her. My friend from college who was constantly getting me into trouble and going to parties she neglected to tell me about where cute boys would ask her "Where's Aunt B.?"
The Legal Eagle--The Shill's husband.
The Super Genius--She lived next door to me my freshman year of college and we've been friends ever since my first day on the floor.
Miss J.--My first adult friend, meaning the first lasting friendship I made after college. She was my roommate in grad school.
Her Lover--Her Husband.
The Divine Ms. B.--Miss J.'s sister and one of my heroes, because she's brave and funny and mystic and fearless.
JR--My oldest friend. I've known her since I was in the second grade.
Elias--JR's husband and the person who's musical tastes have most strongly affected my own. Oh, how I long to be cooler than him!
The Professor--My closest friend here in Nashville. She's a genius, but she'll never tell you that.
The Man from GM--I've known him since I was 16 and he still hasn't forgiven me for telling him I was a vegetarian when I wasn't.
The Redheaded Kid--No one knows where he comes from or where he goes when he leaves here. I assume he's the Butcher's friend. The Butcher assumes he's mine.
6 Comments:
I'm a big fan of going inside the Parthenon and seeing jaws drop and eyes open wide when people first see Athena.
I also like to take people to dinner at the Wildhorse Saloon - especially people who don't know that some people really do get all gussied up and know what dance to do to what song (or at least two-step quite nicely). That's good kitch fun.
There's the Farmer's Market and the Capitol and the Bicentennial Park.

Damn, Nashville Knucklehead beat me on that one.
How about one of the Gentleman's Clubs up there by Frugal McDougals?
Tootsie's, or some other Nashville-ish bar. And the Bluebird Cafe is always a neat place to go.
Opryland Hotel's atriums is good touristy stuff in any weather. Just make sure you park in the old Jillian's lot and walk through the path to avoid paying for parking.
Are. Not is. Sorry
