Summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin’ dirty and gritty
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
-- The Lovin’ Spoonful

Good gosh it is hot and nasty. Just smog hanging over the city, it’s enough to straighten my hair. Ugh. Lots going on over here, so sorry for lack of updates. While you’re waiting for the next dose of dabbsness, check out this article from CNN.

On a hot tin roof,

I keep on calling her name
She’s somewhere in the Smoky Mountain rain

I’m back from vacation. How sad. I had a great time and by the way, I love the mountains. I could spend hours by the Little River watching it rush over the rocks and wind it’s way through the Smokies.

A couple of things – it was with much disdain that I discovered my childhood favorites of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have been reduced to a series of Old Tyme Photo booths, cheap t-shirts and hot dog stands. Oh well, maybe it was always that way and I’m just older now. Nonetheless, I love the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and would move up there in a second. Of course, I’m not sure how I would earn a living. Anyway, I’m back and ready to rock your world with my wordsmithing, y’all.
