The people here are so freaking nice it kills me. They took me out to lunch today at a kitschy diner called John’s. Decent food on a corporate credit card. America, the beautiful.

I have to turn in my name badge, though. I made a photocopy for posterity.

In three hours or so I’ll be hopping in the car and heading to Murfreesboro. Bright and early, the kids will have breakfast at Shoney’s, and then we’ll disperse and spread our seed all over the Northeast.
