Friday

Morning. I woke this morning to the windows rattling. Nashville is having thunderstorms today. I'm so glad that we were able to change hotels and get into the venue location. No hopping in a taxi and walking through parking lots everyday. It's especially great since I didn't pack an umbrella.

Even walking through the atrium had it had it's gloomy moments, due to all the rain. On the way to lunch today I was able to take a number of photos of the grand atrium within the hotel. This is only one of the many, many waterfalls thoughout the entire hotel. There are loads of orchids too.

This afternoon we had lunch at the Jack Daniel's Grill. Our table was out on the patio. It was so strange, you're inside, but you're "outside". There was this statue out front of Jack Daniels.

Will back fill this space in a few days. I have photos from the hotel gardens. Lots of orchids and other shade loving plants, along with waterfalls, fountains and garden statues.

Walt - thanks for checking up on me around 7 p.m. - I was still in meetings and stayed there until I came up for bed. Talk to you sometime on Saturday. I do believe it will be another packed day.

More later...

It's been a long day - just got into the room around 12:30 p.m.

Casino Heart Attacks

Because so many people have heart attacks, the big, high-class casinos are now equipped with sophisticated defibrillators. They are computer controlled to deliver the precise level of electric shock needed to revive a heart attack victim. That's if you're at a high class casino.

At the cheaper casinos downtown, they just drag you across the carpet and touch your finger to the doorknob.
