Week in Linden

Last week, we had a wonderful time at our friend Madalyn's cabin by the Buffalo River in Linden, Tennessee, which is in Perry county about an past Nashville toward Memphis. I got a lot of work done (there was no internet at the house and I don't have a smart phone) and did some neat walks near where we stayed in in a few parks. We had our 5th anniversary dinner in downtown Linden (about 5 minutes from the cabin) and also went to Lobelville to hear what was offered for "Music on Main'--and Lobelville was even smaller than Linden.
I was also able to stop and visit William Gay. We sat down for an interview, which I worked on after in the cabin. Talking with him is always transformative for me. On our way back I bought one of his paintings (he paints haunting landscapes) which I'm putting in my office.
Rowan did even more outside stuff and read Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and Critique of Judgment. You know, the light summer beach reading we all do.
Anyway, below are some pictures from the trip. I was surprised how invigorating is was just to change venues for a week. I hope to go back again. Thanks Madalyn!
