Spent time in three new metropoli that i'd not visited before, and half a dozen smaller towns that were also new to me. Revisited some memorable places from younger days. Saw a bald eagle flying over my head with a pretty big fish in his claws on the banks of the Mississippi. Tasted sour mash at three different stages of fermentation. Photographed 3 generations of graffiti in a covered bridge. Watched a mama black bear and cub navigate the interstate highway system successfully. Soaked in a 250 year old hot spring. Listened to Patricia Barber at the Green Mill. Ate ribs on Beale Street. Stood in Huck Finn's house.

Good to be home.
