"Any *sshole can open up a museum / Put all the things he loves on display so everyone can see 'em"

Well, I'm back from Tennessee, and completely buried under catch-up work. I had a fabulous time and have many stories and pictures that will be shared within the next week or so.

My uncle passed away on Sunday night. I didn't know him well, and he was apparently very mean to my close family, but I thought it shouldn't pass without mention. I spent the day of his funeral/burial with my mother in Massachusetts to help quiet bad memories since he was my dad's oldest brother.

Buford Pusser (I dare you to tell me that's not the 2nd-best name in the world, next to Verna Pringle, a secretary at my firm) is my new favorite person/concept/thing/idea/schmutzy tourist attraction in Tennessee. We didn't stop there, but we did stop at the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum in Chattenooga, Tennessee. I now have a new life goal. My name will one day grace the wall.
