Don Quixote

By pwsadmin / April 6, 2023 / Comments Off

As I’ve said in other posts or “Journal Entries,” I’m reading the book “Don Quixote.”It was written around 1605, and if there is one thing I’ve learned from this book, it’s that there was not much entertainment in the 1600s. Aside from fighting wars, that is. Right now, in the book, five or six people…

Pepper Steak

I got another lesson from the “Meat Man” at the local “Pig.” He told me of a cheaper cut of meat that has the same grade as a Ribeye.I believe it’s called “Chuck Eye.”Each cut was pretty thick, and I got three for eighteen dollars. That’s about six bucks each.That’s not the story, though… “Papa,…

Tommy The Dawg

“Tommy the Dawg” is so dang smart. I’ve driven all over this mountain with him at my side, and in the beginning, I would say the words, “Hold On” when going into a curve or making a turn, and he learned to “hold on.” He did this by taking his head out of the window,…

Lost In The Opryland Hotel

By pwsadmin / March 28, 2023 / Comments Off

“It’s an Atrium. It’s just a Man-Made-Atrium, ‘Lynn,’” I told myself. “This isn’t ‘Gilligan’s Island.’” I had gone to an “After-Show” Party and returned to the “Opryland Hotel” after 1 AM. The hotel has over 2800 rooms.It’s the size of several football fields. I had taken an “Uber” to get back to the hotel, and…

The Grand Ole Opry

The Grand Ole Opry. That’s where we were.It would become a “Night To Remember.”It was “Sean Dietrich’s” Opry Debut—a big night for him.The place was full of fans. The “Opry” wasn’t on my Bucket List or anything. I just figured I’d never get a chance to see someone at “The Grand Ole’ Opry.”I was with…

4 AM, “Alexa” awakens me with soft Jazz music. “It’s time!” I say aloud. “Time! Get up and get ready, ‘Lynny-Pooh!’” You see, I have an important trip planned today.I am going to the great city of Nashville, in the great state of Tennessee.By 7 PM tonight, I will be sitting in front of one…

The Wreckage

By pwsadmin / March 23, 2023 / Comments Off

I was mere seconds away from it when it happened. Driving on Highway 160, which I’ve posted about before, I encountered a wreck. It had just happened. People were getting out of their vehicles and running over to the wreckage. Three vehicles were involved.One truck lay on top, and on its side, of the other…

Don Quixote

By pwsadmin / March 20, 2023 / Comments Off

Over the weekend, I got enthralled with the book “Don Quixote.”The book is fascinating.By the time I got to chapter two, I was laughing.I remember saying aloud, while laughing, “It’s like Monty Python.” “Don Quixote” was published in 1605 and is considered the first modern novel.It’s also been translated into over fifty different languages.And it’s…
