I have a friend who when he travels makes lists of what he sees to remember for later...

Staying where you grow up. Kentucky vs. Virginia. Nashville trip. Ew Mf. NASHVILLE! Buying cowboy boots buy one get two free. Touristy yet welcoming. Where are you from? Upright base player and stomping our boots at two in the morning. Churchill Downs and betting on two horses. Missing routine. Reading. Too late at night phone conversations. Drive to Boone through Knoxville and Johnson City, Tennessee. Missing at the airport. Green and trees. No real traffic. Counting state license plates. Alaska and California and Iowa. Feeling more like myself. Florida tourist drivers. Friends in a cabin off of 194. No open pool tables at Murphy's on a Monday afternoon. Neko Case and Dwight Yoakam. Black Cat burritos and PBR pitchers. Hanging out with my old college roommate and her husband. Cafe Portofino. More traffic. Feeling disconnected. Sleeping on a couch in Villas. Cool breeze through the window at night with trucks passing by. Waking up to a rescued kitten crying. Mel's Diner. A move to Charlotte. Upcoming plans. July 4th on Beech Mountain. Espresso News surrounded by the internet surrounded by mountains.
