Benny Comes to Memphis

So one of the upsides to living in Memphis (we are looking hard for them these days) is that Benny is just a stone's throw away in Alabama. It was will much excitement that Capt. Benny made the journey from the deep to mid-south. It also served as a great opportunity to celebrate the fact that Benny is now free from the Air Force! Yes, after 6+ years, which included a trip to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Iraq, he has successfully completed his service for the good ol' USA.

And so to celebrate we took in a game at Autozone Park, where the Redbirds were yet again handed a stinging loss by the Nashville team. We were joined by Giles, Betsy, Sara, and Tom (friends and spouses from St. Jude). We sat in the outfield for $5! Too bad the beer was more expensive than the game!

We also made a trip over to Jill and Chris' for Wii. We had a great time also playing a really funny game involving word association & charades. Someday you will have to ask Jonnett how to act out "Pink Lloyd." We also got to take in a bit of "Delta Fair." Think carnival in the south and that's what ya got. We were supposed to see the Spin Doctors, but the lead guitar guy had a heart attack the day before, so we got the lead singer doing an acoustic performance. I think that actually worked out better than the intact band would have. At any rate, we had a great weekend! Yeah for Benny, yeah for being out of the Air Force!!!
