In a couple of hours Mary Pat and I are heading up to Tennessee for some fun in the Smokies. We'll be spending
days trekking through virgin wilderness, eating berries and wildflowers, slaking our thirst at crystal mountain streams lots of money at the outlet malls near Pigeon Forge. I really do need a completely new wardrobe for work so we're mixing business and pleasure, staying at a rustic little cabin on the mountain behind Gatlinburg. We might even get matching sweatsuits and walk around town holding hands. Country kitsch, here we come.
