TOURISM-CRUISE
The co-owner of the Burg Steakhouse in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, says a tourist came in for lunch, and apparently enjoyed his meal because he came back for dinner, too. He had a filet mignon and crab cakes, a Shirley Temple, and a scoop of ice cream. His bill came to $59, and he rounded it up a little with the tip: $1,000, which he asked to be spread among the entire staff. He also paid the tab at a couple of other tables. The man asked to remain anonymous, but said he was terminally ill and spending the rest of his days paying it forward.

“Hooray, hooray, for the First of May …skinny-dippin’ begins today!”
That’s a note the late and great Sports Editor Emeritus Freddie Russell of the old Nashville Banner would send to me during the last 20 or so years of his life, and while the “sin” would change from year to year, the laughter the thoughtful note would evoke was always new and ever genuine.
As I sit in my garden today, as is my custom on the first day of every month, all around me is springtime lust and I glory in it. Our water tables are about 50 percent below a typical April but the abundance of rain we had earlier this year puts us well ahead of the year-to-date averages after the first fourth months of 2021.
