guess where i am today

it is hot, and humid. schools here don't start until next week, so as not to conflict with the state fair. i have been called ma'am more times than i care to count. i am the only one in a black suit. instead of wine tastings, they do bourbon tastings. ah ha! that one should have clued you right in.

so here i am in louisville (that's pronounced loovul, only it's all one syllable). i have seen a lots of bugs although fortunately only one of them has landed on me. i got a keychain in my hotel room that is a bottle-opening pink pony with 'kentucky' written on the side. people here refer the area as kentuckiana, since we are so close to the neighboring state.

traveling for work is ok, there is free hbo in my room as well as yummy-smelling lotion, and we are being wined (bourboned?) and dined very nicely, apparently it is a big deal to have people from national come in for a visit.

kentucky is the bluegrass state, so i'll leave you with these parting words:
