Summer in the Bluegrass State

Just back home after ten days away, part of which was presenting sessions for Kentucky ACDA at their summer conference in Louisville.  What a great group of people!  It was wonderful seeing old friends (and students) and being part of a fantastic conference.  Congrats to President Brent Merritt for his vision and leadership, Lori Hetzel on her deserved recognition as the Robert K. Baar Award recipient, and excellent accompanist Glenna Metcalfe.

Food highlight was good wood fired pizza at the garage bar, which had just opened a few days earlier, housed in an old filling station on Market Street.  Funky atmosphere and nice food.  Enjoyed several days in Asheville, NC pre-ACDA and Chicago post, on an extended road trip and endured the southern temperatures as far north as Chicago where the car was registering 99.
