We'll go to Orlando and sit by the pool and maybe do some GoKarts and out to eat. Its close enough but far enough.
You have to do it. The longer you are a hermit, the longer it's going to take for you to get back to normal. Go have fun. Catch some rays for me. I can't wait to sit in the sun.

Agree with this 💯. It's not healthy to be a hermit. You'll enjoy it once you're there and relaxed. The closest water to me is brown and unappealing so I'm jelly. You can tease us with pool & beach photos while you're sipping cocktails.

Non sequitur:

Literary Device

A non sequitur is a conversational literary device, often used for comedic purposes. It is something said that, because of its apparent lack of meaning relative to what preceded it, seems absurd to the point of being humorous or confusing.

Always a good trip to TN. Been there like 4 times in the last few years...we love it there. Would of been nicer if I wasnt bothered while out of office. But 20 minutes into the road trip going there, I received a call from my boss needing help. But yet they dont think I need an assistant (last one quit due to health reasons) and and always once I return...have to put out many fires and address hot issues. I guess 300+ emails for 1 week out isnt too bad .

I feel you dude, I short myself out of vacations because I get afraid of what you just dealt with and instead never relax and just keep working everyday

THIS is why I go to the cabin (no cell OR land lines) or leave the country (you pay for my international calling, or I leave my PERSONAL cell at home) I no longer have a work flip-phone

I live between Knoxville and Nashville. Where did you venture here? I must agree with your point that medical products are quite nice.

Way to do it. The cabin we go to has no innernet, land line, cell reception, or tv; only radio, with NPR being the only bearable station, (sometimes. )
We always have lots of CDs & reading material!

Same, but I still reply. It's fun little game I play that I like to call, "How relevant is my response."

We stayed here again and ventured out a bit. My sons request was the bouncy pillow, goats, and arcades #MissionAccomplished. We went to Tuckaleechee Caverns but my claustrophobia didnt allow me to go more than 50 steps into the cavern and I had to retreat. I thought I could push thru it for my sons sake...not the case and they gave us a full refund. Later when we go back to the resort (after me feeling bad about the event), my son said its ok..I understand and gave me a hug #Priceless!

Nice resort! You are on the other side of Knoxville from me. Just a little over an hour away. Pigeon Forge has come a long way from the fires that ripped through there 4 years ago...from what I've heard anyway. I haven't been since the fires. Is there still much evidence of how bad it was?

That's awesome that you were able to save some face with the kiddo. Good on the refund, but in those cases; screw the money - it's all about what's acceptable with the kiddo. Nothing a little double engine go-cart track can't fix.
