I woke up at 4:30 and went over to Bob’s and drove him to Memphis. There’s not much between Nashville and Memphis. It all kind of looks the same. But we had a nice time and I took him to the Marriott and he gave a 15 minute speech to the Re-ed (re-education) society. He was remembering his friend, mentor and inventor of “Re-ed”, Nicholas Hobbs. We had lunch there, and drove back. Bob got really tired when we got back, but I know he was glad he went. I was happy to get home, and that nothing went wrong. I would hate to get stuck in Memphis. Picked up Posh and talked to my dad about his trip to LA. He said that he had lunch with a close friend of John Lennon’s, and that before he died, Lennon told him he wanted to start a band with the energy of The Remains! That was pretty impressive to me. Went home and fed Posh and took a shower and I ate some left-overs. Leslie had a real tough day with some serious emergency procedures, so she was going to be a while. Lex Price texted me and told me he was playing at the Mercy Lounge, and I remembered it was 8 off 8th, so I went down there and there were tons of people I knew. Troy and Jessica Verges, and John Bruton bought me a shot. Emerson was there and we had the same clothes on, kind of. Park Chissolm and Sara Beck, and Jessica played, and she was good, but the sound was iffy. Then Emily West showed up and she had a bottle of vodka in her purse and we were all drinking some of it, but I didn’t want to get too buzzed, so I went home after Kyle Andrews and Lex played. And Lex is a very good bass player. I mean, I knew he would be. Had a bowl of cereal and went to bed.
