Just Surfacing For A Quick Breath

Things have been absolutely insane for the past 30 days or so, which explains why I haven’t posted anything recently. I think there is light at the end of the tunnel, but I fear that it’s not going to appear until 2007. In time I hope to fill in the blanks a bit and get some articles posted that I’ve been working on, but until then here’s just a quick update of what’s been going on…

On The Hunt For A New Stylist

I don’t know why it is, but in my experience with hair stylists, I’m unable to get a good cut after more than a year. Around that time, the cuts I get range from not-so-hot to down right bad. Eventually I give up and have to move on to someone else. It frustrates me to no end because I usually get a really great cut at the start of the relationship and I have to wonder what makes it go sour? Well, after my haircut today, it looks like I’m at that point again. What started out great is now as sour as curdled milk.

The Bubba Miller Show Is Smokin’

I’ve written before how much I enjoy hanging out at Tobacco Road, especially when they’re having a cigar tasting like they did a few weeks ago. Enjoying a cigar amongst friends is the best smoke there is and friends are never in short supply at Tobacco Road. Unfortunately, having time to hang out there has been in short supply this year; however that may all be changing thanks to a new thing they’re doing every Tuesday evening — The Bubba Miller Radio Show on WSNR AM 560.

Amanda Congdon Hits Nashvegas

Yesterday, I came across a post on NashvilleIsTalking.com about how video weblog celebrity AmandaCongdon was coming to Nashville. If you’re not familar with her work, she was the original host of the hugely popular video podcast RocketBoom.

Tobacco Road Cigar Tasting — Ashton

Last Thursday there was a cigar tasting at my favorite cigar store, Tobacco Road. It’s just my kind of business. Locally owned and operated, one-of-a-kind, great staff and great selection. Every other month or so, they host a cigar tasting. A distributer comes in, passes out a sample cigar, talks about their product line and offers an in-store discount. This was my third tasting for the year and as usual, it was a lot of fun.
