KNOXVILLE, TENN. — Rough day. Staying up until 4 a.m. laughing at Jayson Blair and scheming on world domination with a cigar in one hand and a gin and tonic in the other, is not conducive to hiking in the Smokies, meeting Instapundit and then going to a Johnny A. concert on the Tennesse River … but that’s my day. I’m sure Glenn Reynolds thought I was totally one brain dead individual, but by the time we made it Charlie Peppers, I was brain dead.
Meeting Glenn was really cool, though. He’s a hell of a nice guy. He is real. I’ll have pictures later to prove it. We had a good converstation and he seemed to enjoy meeting Bob Benz .
Tomorrow, I’ll see if I can catch a plane out of Nashville and start working my way back to California.
Knoxville is a great town. I hope I make it back.
More laterm.
