How I spent part of my summer vacation (by Steve Rigby)

Greetings y'all from almost way down south in Dixie, and yes that is a real river boat on the real Mississippi, river that is. The river cruise was great and the food was awesome.

The business trip (yeah right) would have been more fun with Debbie there instead of hanging around with a bunch of other publishing types talking about boring publishing stuff the whole time. Best part of the trip?....the fried frog legs smothered with lots of butter; no they don't taste like chicken, they taste like............well.........frog legs of course.

You might ask, as I did, what is Beale Street? Well I found out, it's jazz central but in Memphis. No Elvis was not there, he had to mow his lawn that day. My only question is,"what were all of those weird odors in the alleys"? Oh, and the Jazz was pretty good.

According to Dough Boy (the taxi driver) we actually drove by Graceland but no Elvis sightings, at least the real one.

Next trip: Bamff, Canada ehh. We'll post pictures later.
