Greetings From Nashville

By Chris on November 7th, 2004

Hello from Tennessee! I’m down here for the weekend visiting my brother. First time that I’ve been able to visit him, and his new condo, since he moved here August. Been meaning to come for a while, but haven’t really had the chance. Now that I don’t have a job, I’ve found some extra time It’s been fun so far. We played frisbee golf this afternoon, at Seven Oaks City Park. It was a close round, though he won in the end. After that, I helped him put up a chandelier, a “birthday present” for his fiance’. (Don’t worry, she already knows about it.) We succesfully got it up with no injuries; Dad would be proud! After that “hard work,” we went to eat at Boscos. It was pretty good food, though we had to wait way too long for it. We had Wood Oven Shrimp for an appetizer, then I had the Quattro Parmiggio pizza, while my brother had the Pollo Diablo pizza. Not bad at all. Afterwards, we headed back to his place and played some Xbox. First up was Tiger Woods’ Golf, which he beat me at. He seemed to have my number on the golf games tonight. However, I beat him at NCAA Football, so the evening ended well for me

Tomorrow, we’re heading to church in the morning (the one Chris Rice attends when he’s in town) and who knows what in the afternoon. I’ll leave sometime before dinner and head up to my grandparents’ farm, just south of Owensboro. it’ll be good to see them again.

Bed time for now. Hope you all are having a great weekend so far.

[UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I had some great music to listen to on the trip down.
TobyMac - Welcome to Diverse City
Jeremy Camp - Carried Me: The Worship Project
VeggieTales - Veggie Rocks

Thanks to Kari and Bryan for the birthday presents. I highly recommend these albums!

My brother got me Ian Eskelin - Save The Humans for my birthday as well. Even more good music for the trip back! Thanks all!]

Thanks for coming to visit me bro. Never be a stranger, you are always welcome. I’ll do better at finding some more nashvillian places to go next time. I’ll take you downtown and to the honky tonk bars next time you are here. I just didn’t want to overwhelm you the first time.

I’ll take him there later. I haven’t been there yet myself, so I figured I would check it out first.

I love nashville. When i was at Murray State, we used to go there once in a while for dinner, concerts, whatever. Very friendly and clean downtown area.

Veggie Tales do rock, but only if you like to waltz with potatoes up and down the produce aisle! Hee!

Scott : Thanks for the chart and the info. I saw something on Sony's site that let you plug in the games name and it would tell if it would play or not or if it would play with limitations. Supposedly all the kids games will play but, with all the "good" reports on the wii I think we are going with that.
Bryan : «link» this chart is your friend,makesurey oupick the right model carefully...
Bryan : Scott, only the original 20gb and 60gb PS3 models that launched have the Emotion Engine in them and are 100% backwards compatible with PSX and PS2 games. The 40gb, 80gb, and new 60gb won't play many of your earlier games. Sony killed the EE to cut down on the retail price.
Scott : Chris as far as the turn around time it was about a month.
Scott : Thanks fo rall the input. I didn't want to go strictly by the respective sites forums...I was thinking about the PS3 mainly because of teh blue ray player and it will play the PS1 and PS2 games. I woudln't have to add another game to my switch...
Paul C. : oops. Only reason I would buy a PS3 would be for the cheap blueray player...or to pay Gran Tourismo
Paul C. : Only reason
Paul C. : i haven't had any problems with my wii...or my mother in laws, brother in laws, or friends. the other way to look at it - maybe more people use their wiis so they experience more things an unused console won't have any problems!
Bryan : The Wii will often freeze during firmware updates if you have a weak wireless connection. It's happened to me before. Other than that, I haven't had any problems with my Wii, either. It's good for younger kids and "causal" gamers, or people that do a lot of social things. The 360 is better for older kids and hardcore fps and rpg fans.
Robin : Chris: I totally agree with you on the eggs, cheese, bacon and bread..I would add some homemade strawberry jelly or mayonnaise and then be set for life except for the cholesterol concerns.
Chris : Hmm...I haven't had either of those problems for what it's worth. Did the things you read say anything about how quick and easy it was to get the problem solved?
Scott : I think freezing up was the biggest and not booting up was the other. It's been a week so I don't remember the problems exactly, just that the wii had more/newer complaints than the other two systems
Chris : Jez: Eggs, cheese, bacon and bread and I'm set for life...
Chris : Scott: I haven't had any problems with my Wii. Love it, so much fun in a group setting. Haven't heard of any probs...wonder what trouble they are having
Jez : Oh, and eggs are fantastic. Eggs and potatoes are two of the greatest foods ever!! They can be used in so many ways!
Jez : I have both a Wii and 360. Really like both of them. The Wii has more games for kids and casual gamers. It also has more party style games. For a serious fps or rpg type gamer, I'd say 360.
Scott : On another note...any one have a wii and if so any troubles with it? Might get one ofr the kids for Christmas, but what I've read on Nintendo's site compared to what I've read on Sony's site for teh PS3 and Microsoft's site for the 360 I'm not sure I want one...
Scott : Yes sorry haven't checked the site in a few days...Paintball on 11/29 at 10am the usual place...I have some scrap wood for more bunkers/bunker repairs too...Hint!
Chris : Woohoo!
Jez : See we signed Daniel Orton? Already rated a top 10 recruiting class for next year, and it's still early recruiting!!
Chris : Scott, any word on that?
Chris : Yep, last I heard there was a possibility for a game towards the end of November. I'll keep you posted.
David : Did I hear paintball in the future awhile back?
Chris : Lol, oops.
Robin : Where is my rught ear?
Chris : Ok, got most of 'em fixed, Paul.
Paul C. : Thanks Chris.
James : Nice cd. Randomly remember a friend a few years ago pulled that one out on a road trip and said "Have you heard of him?" Moment of zen. All Star still lives in our hearts, if not always in our stereo these days.
Chris : hmm, I noticed dilbert and getfuzzy haven't shown up the past few days but haven't look into why. I'll see what I can do about it
