Well, I'm back to work today. I spent a few days in Nashville last week. It seems to be my vacation destination these days, as that was my sixth trip there since October of 2020.

I went down for Kid Rock's Comedy Jam 2. I went down for last year's inaugural event also, as he raises money for several charities. It's always a fun time in Nashville.

Before I left, I saw that Dan Donagan from Disturbed was down there on his Instagram. I messaged him to let him know I'd be down, and I got him hooked up with tickets for the event. Needless to say, we had a blast!

So much fun! I you haven't been down to music city, you owe yourself a trip there.
