Old Friends…
Sitting here in the early morn, high atop the Holiday Inn in Lenoir City, TN, about to start scraping the barnacles in preparation for the UT-Vanderbilt football game, I realize that this week I have not blogged much, am terribly delinquent in emailing, and have gotten way behind schedule with life in general. Got to put in some extra effort to remedy that quickly. Promise…
On the bright side, I visited last night with an old and dear friend, UT classmate, fellow engineer at the same company for many years, and his wife. Phil and Carol were the perfect hosts and it was a wonderful evening. Phil grilled some pieces of dead cows to perfection while I had a serious conversation with him and Jack Daniels. We spent hours playing the What ever happened to…? game. There is a tremendously satisfying feeling to rekindling old friendships. Thank you Phil and Carol for an evening not to be forgotten…

Rekindling old friendships….what a beautiful night right before your UT/Vanderbilt football game…sounds like a perfect weekend Winston.
Time so very well spent.
Happy Weekend, Winston!
it’s nice when real life interupts cyberspace….glad you had a good weekend…
It must have something to do with the season. I too have gotten far behind in posting and in answering e-mails.
It sounds like you had a wonderful time… but dead cow? Surely you could have written about the meal with more finese. Shame, but as soon as I quit laughing, I thought about how good meat on the grill tastes.
What does ’scraping the barnacles’ mean? Or were you actually scraping the barnacles?
….barnacles?…. good god, is that what I can look forward to once I reach your age??….
I’ve heard of Jack Daniel but I have never heard of Jack Danels. who is he?
