On a quick change of plans, I'll be spending the next week in the Nashville area with the intention of visiting a blood pressure specialist at Vanderbilt and an optometrist' office for glasses. I'm wearing a pair that was prescribed more than two years ago after a more-recent pair disintegrated over the summer. The specialist visit is to address a growing concern in my family over high blood pressure and heart problems.
All indications are that I'll be heading back to Martin this weekend with my parents on their visit to my Grandmother's house. If that falls apart, Samantha has said she'll drive to Nashville to pick me up. Times like these I really wish I had a car.
Figure it's time to be a little bit more social. I'll sort through the last couple of days later on, after I've grabbed a bite or two to eat.
