Beale Street Bar:  BB King’s Blues Club.  Live music, great food and a great atmosphere.

BBQ Restaurant: Everytime I go to Memphis, I am treated to a new BBQ joint.  My hands down favorite is Rendezvous in downtown Memphis.

Attraction: Graceland, home of The King.

Sushi Joint: Ryu Sushi Bar.  This is conveniently located near one of the largest driving ranges I have ever been to.  The food and service is great to boot!

I have visited Memphis dozen’s of times over my life and I never seem to get bored of it.

I just got home from my first trip to Washington DC and the trip lived up to my expectations:

Monument:  Lincoln Memorial

Building: The Library of Congress - Its elegance is second to none.  It was easily the most beautiful building I toured.

Smithsonian Museum:  National Gallery of Art -  I spent more time in this museum than any other.

Athlete:  Pete Sampras- The man who won 14 Tennis Grand Slams was born in DC.

All in all, my three days in DC weren’t even enough time to put a dent in the attractions the city has to offer.  I will be planning a return visit in the next couple of years.

My employer, SFI, has recently chosen to send me to our Portsmouth, Ohio plant for 3 days a week. This is scheduled to last for 3-4 weeks. The journey is not too bad. I catch a flight out of Little Rock into Cincinnati, then it is a 2 hour drive from there. I have found the people of in the region to be most pleasant. One of the most fascinating things I have seen is the murals that are painted flood walls (which protect the city from the Ohio River.) Here are two of my favorites.
