Yesterday in Nashville

It's Ash Wednesday so I'm giving up sweets again for Lent. The first year was 1993 -- the year after I quit smoking. So I did indulge yesterday. Karen and I went to a Tin Pan South songwriters event. I had some totally random conversations with people and felt so much more self confident. I used to be so self conscious and awkward at these things. But then, I don't know these people and have nothing to lose. They had free Jack Daniels -- that was tempting. And lots and lots of cheese. At the end of the event the caterer had put out to-go boxes and we took some home. How great is that?
