I have to confess that I didn’t make it to any session today, not that there weren’t good ones. Only that I had back-to-back-to-back meetings. Probably one of the joys an event like this is that you get to re-connect with people from all over the country. Conversations like these are precious.

I also got a taste of a Nashville treat… the Pancake Kitchen. You just know this is a good spot when there’s a line out the door for pancakes at noon. So, some of us went there and had everything from sweet potato pancakes to chocolate chip ones. It’s right by Vanderbilt University in a cool part of town.

The Pancake Pantry makes a promise that it’s the place you’re most likely to see a famous person. We didn’t see any country stars but… had a nice time with my good friend Michael Novelli. He just finished a book called Shaped by the Story. It explores the art of storytelling in our teaching and Mike has created some really helpful materials.

And… I ordered grits. A nice taste of Nashville before I flew out in the afternoon.

The convention goes through Monday. I wish everyone a safe trip back.

Peace.
