... step touch going on, some spins, grabbing his ankles, twirling me...he wasn't a newbie that's for sure. And then afterwards..he asked if he could draw my picture...and I let him, and he proceeded to give it to me along with his address afterward. I love crossing paths with different people.<br><br>I really enjoy being able to look into other people''s cars and into truck driver's eyes and cabs. Never had that possible before. It's ...

... I'm in Memphis, I thought it would be nice to visit the family again in Tyler, Texas for a couple of nights. On my way to Denver. Where I have to be on Thursday. I'll leave that with you....<br><br><br><br>Thought of the Day<br><br>Zzzzzzzzzzzz...<br><br>For reference<br><br>This entry takes the standard of blogs to new depths of mediocrity. <br>And by, 'takes', I mean, 'plummets'. <br>Two sides of a triangle are better than one.<br> <br>

... br> We put on our Blue Suede shoes and headed off to tour Sun Studios, the Studio that gave Elvis his recording break and has recorded hundreds of great artists including U2, Matchbox 20 and some old favorites such as Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Johnny Cash and Carl Lee Perkins. The studio is pretty amazing they have an old museum that contains original recordings and records ...

... it for profit rather than ideology. <br> Later in the day we went to a museum called the Pink Palace Museum , once owned by a cotton magnate, Than by a guy who started the Piggy Wiggly grocery Chain. Had some interesting exhibits. A miniature Circus built in 1930-1955 by a man, miniature railroads, a medical museum, history exhibit. Had a replica of the 1st store owned by the man who ...

Today we were in Mephis, spent the morning touring Graceland where Elvis lived, They allow you to take pics inside so took lots. In the afternoon we went on a tour called backbeat tours of Memphis. The tour guide played a guitar and sang, We all had shakers and tamborins, so it ...

... Hence, the first bar we were in was playing **** like Michael Jackson and Prince. We walked across the road to B.B. King's and the band there was playing more jazz kind of stuff. Still, had some okay food and I (Coll, need I say), had a shitload of cocktails and the prices were okay.<br><br>Friday morning I woke up bright and bushy-tailed. Matt took a bit of "encouraging" to get out of bed after the beers the night before. We managed to get ...

... and tries to calm me down by telling me that I should be here 1 hour before departure. Thankyou very much Ma'am. The third thankfully of this blog comes through the fact that the bus had not left and no-one had boarded. So I made it in time. The bus was nearly empty so again I had two seats to myself. I have worked out that a taxi is more expensive (nearly double the price) than taking an interstate bus, go figure that ...

... going through a lot of trial and error, we walked out with a lot of photos, and a copy on disc. As well we were not charged for the copy because we were patient and didn't get upset. Another win for the good guys! We proceeded along highway 55, and as soon as we crossed the border it was noted the improvement in the road surface. With an interchange of drivers and steady progress we found ourselves at the World renowned ...

... donors. And I see why. The Dixon is in a huge brick colonial-style mansion built in 1941 by Hugo and Margaret Dixon. They had no children and were intent on preserving their art collection and elaborate gardens. They set up an endowment to which wealthy individuals and outfits like FedEx contribute; no local, state, or federal money. It's tastefully and expensively done, right down the immense bouquets of flowers from the estate's cutting ...

... watching Sergey and Larry arguing about the constitution! Well the cake tasted good.... Since then things have been pretty good in the lab, Sergey is convinced that I am not a typical Eastern woman and I argue just as much as Larry does! at least our arguments last for 5 minutes or so! I have met more new people, and they are all Memphians (I love this word), and the greatest thing about it is that I really get to see life in Memphis through their eyes so ...
