What Happens In (Nash)Vegas....
OK, won't exactly stay in Nashvegas. Namely, buying clothes and stuff for the newest-identified member of the family--our baby. If you have no clue what I'm talking about, head on over to the Russellbaby website (abbreviated version: ultrasound, boy).
Greetings from Music City, USA. Let me just go on record as saying that technology amazes me. As I don't tote my laptop around town, or use it in my line of work for internet-related stuff, I've never really used the "hot spot" wireless internet capabilities in a public place. We love wireless, but it usually involves our living room and couch. Anyway, I am sitting here right now in the lobby of the "Ammenities Center" of Fairfield Resort--Nashville. No wires or cables--just a full battery and a wireless internet connection. Cool stuff.
Today was a full day--we started out around 6:30 or 7, preparing for not only our trip, but Leah's doctor's appointment. So we wanted to get everything taken care of, packed, and in the car so that we could hit I-40 immediately after departing the visit. Which we did. I also made a few calls to let folks know that the latest Russell addition is bred with Y chromosomes, and talked to my step-brother Tony who was about to board a plane headed back to Iraq.
We got into Nashville about 1:00, but our condo unit wasn't ready. Being right across the street from the Opry Mills mall, where do you think we ended up as a way to kill time? You guessed it. One complete trip around the racetrack-style layout, plus a few retail store detours, and we were finished with quite possibly the world's largest waiting room. Then it was check-in, lugging luggage in the 125% humidity, and then quick dip in the pool. Shower, then dinner, then back to the room. One day somebody is going to explain to me why riding in a car is so tiring, but for now I'll concede defeat and admit that it is absolutely the case.
I'm off to the other blog to update, and them I'm off to bed. Good night, John boy.
