Cars and pucks

Tomorrow (Saturday) we have a fairly eventful day planned in downtown Nashville. By the looks of it, it will be mostly sunny with a high in the mid-50s with no chance of rain. Not a bad first weekend of spring considering that you could just about raft in the otherwise slightly damp creek bed near our apartment complex just a few days ago.

First, we are heading to the Nashville International Auto Show at the Nashville Convention Center. I am not a car or truck person nor do I know much about overhead valves, horsepower or carburetors unless it involves a certain small engine for which my employer is regional master distributor. However, we are looking into to replacing my aging vehicle with a fuel efficient car for Samantha. A coworker recommended we go because it is not selling show, with just manufacturer representatives on hand to answer questions. It should also give us an opportunity to take a few pictures. It runs through Sunday and tickets are $8 for adults.

We will then head down the street to a hockey game. As the Predators vs. Blackhawks game that starts at 2 p.m. is sold out, it will not be for that one. Instead, about an hour after that one ends the Tennessee High School Championship (The Predators Cup) game begins. The defending champions Pope John Paul II High School will take on the Knoxville Metro Pirates. Just like last year, we know exactly zero people from either of the teams participating. The event is free.

I think I could use more weekends like these.
