Back in Tennessee

Well after a week out on the left coast and Vegas, I'm back in Tennessee. We arrived late last night having missed the vast majority of the Rose Bowl because we were in the air. (We did see a few minutes of the first quarter). My guess is that we missed a hell of a party in London, since my Texas Exes friends and the USC alumni had gotten the whole top floor of the Sports Cafe on Haymarket (breakfast buffet at half time, which was probably about 3 or 4 in the morning in the UK).

The Vol-in-Law was very happy to wake up and see green out the window. Although we had a great time in California, including perhaps the best New Year's Eve either of us have ever experienced, he says he's generally happy to vacation in the South.

There's a few things I can say about California...

1. They worry too much (notices everywhere warning you of this or that hazard)
2. It's kind of expensive, but not as expensive as London.
3. No "W -The President" stickers as far as the eye can see - that's a good thing.
4. Good food and drink.
5. People with good jobs seem to have a very high standard of living.

Anyway, the best thing about California is that some of my very good friends from college live there.

I have more to say about Vegas, but that will go in another post.
