The Rabbit

So I am finally living within my means as Gilbert would say. I bought a car, a little rabbit. I like it a lot so far and the best part . . . it has heated seats! I know not really a recent revolution in the car industry but this is high tech compared to my old jeep. I felt a little sorry for the jeep. It was the same when I bought the Jeep, I felt sorry for the subaru (even though that subaru was a total lemon and the Russians had destroyed a lot of it). I tend to give life to the non-living things. I'm not the only one who does this, see here.

Holiday Parade Photos

I don't know what the little cars were for but I loved them. And this guy kept dancing with all the bands when they came by. I think he was just trying to stay warm!

Nashville Holiday Parade

Friday night it was 27 degrees and little windy. I found myself watching the Holiday parade down Broadway and onwards. My feet were little stumps by the end of the fairly long parade. While I haven't been to a parade in years and years this one was fun but where were all the floats? It was really an "Emergency Vehicle and Shriner Parade". Luckily there were no big emergencies in Nashville on Friday night! One of the cars of the clowns broke down in the middle of the parade and the clowns tried to fix it. After several funny minutes, the clowns decided to push the broken car with another car. It was quite comical!

Christmas time . . . .

Around my house it is getting a little festive, though it's still way frickin' colder than I ever thought Nashville would be! My sort of lame but cool to me tree. It's a Norfolk Island Pine which is on my top to see places. I wonder if this tree would actually grow here? I don't think I will plant it in the ground at Nebraska Ave . . . The little skiers don't know that Bumble is afoot! But he only wants to be their friend, that's all :)

Sunday Night Shout

I finally got to out to the Station Inn to see Mike Farris last week. The show was fantastic, while on occasion the music was repetitive for me, the whole band was amazing. The music was toe tapping, knee slapping, inspirational and all together made me smile and want to sing along. I was so glad I went, it's always tough for me to get out of the house on a cold, rainy night. Especially on a Sunday. I took this grainy, lame picture. There was lots of affirmatives and raising of hands to the air.

Fun at the Ryman and on Broadway

Some former colleagues of mine were in town for a conference. We had fun at the Ryman. Getting to explore the place, stand on the stage and wander through the dressing rooms was certainly cool. It really does feel like a church. It's quite a gem though the staff promptly threw us all out at 9:15! Then we ordered the Recession Special at Robert's on Broadway. I can't wait for Jeff (aka Bunky Spunks) to get down here to try out the Recession Special. He will love the PBR, fried baloney sandwich and a moonpie! Photos are taken by me not of me . . . .

Around town

Hmm . . . hmm . . . where can I get some whiskey?

I love this guy with the accordion. I need to take lessons . . . I would love to play.
