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…

The Trip

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…

The Mussels

Mussels. That’s what I had to eat—a lot of Mussels.They were good, too.“Boy, that sure was a good Birthday Dinner for Aunt Ann,” I thought. —I thought to myself a lot during this whole event— While sitting in the School line, my phone starts making a sound. “Beep, Beep, Beep” was the sound my phone…

Pulmonary Doctor Visit

By pwsadmin / March 13, 2023 / Comments Off

I saw my sleep doctor today.On our “Family” Microsoft Calendar that we share, it simply said, “Pulmonary Appointment.”It didn’t have the doctor’s name or anything.I honestly thought it was for mom or Papa, but it ended up being my appointment.I got a good report about my CPAP use, and I was happy about that, but…

The Pink Floyd Experience

By pwsadmin / March 11, 2023 / Comments Off

Over one-thousand and, two hundred words are typed here.I felt they were needed, though.And honestly, I think the first part is a bit “Dry.”Any-hoo, here we go: My oldest Brother knows I love Pink Floyd. I always have.In ’94, I was fortunate enough to see them live for their “Division Bell” tour.I took my late…

Pre Show

By pwsadmin / March 9, 2023 / Comments Off

I’m going out tonight with my older brother and dad. My anxiety is high. Earlier today, I ran up to Huntsville, Alabama, to see my Psychiatrist.She says it’s good to get out. I wouldn’t expect her to say anything less. She is always positive. My anxiety is high because I’ll be out of my comfort…

The Lady

By pwsadmin / March 9, 2023 / Comments Off

My vehicle is sorta sacred to me.I know, crazy, ain’t it? It’s where I talk to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.It’s my Prayer Closet.The same could get said of my Bathroom. A lot of intimate talks have taken place there as well. I feel invisible in my vehicle.I know. But I do.It’s my…
