Springfield Springfield it's a hell of a town!

Well my recent trip to Missouri was really a good one... except spending half the day in Cincinnati, Ohio on Friday September 1st. My trip started on Tuesday August 29th at about 12:30 departing from Chattavegas to Memphis, while in Memphis I was glad I was my usual observent and nosey self, I had just picked up a BBQ sandwich from... (somewhere) and picked up my favorite White Mocha from Starbucks... after finishing eating I was a little bored and decided to do some work on the computer... well after shamelessly attempting to "use" the Airport WiFi then a guy sits down behind me yacking on his phone. Well in the process of dropping eaves I hear that Lexington, KY has this wonderful restaurant with the "greatest BBQ" called Red Hot and Blue (which is funny because their site says they are none in KY) ... well after landing in Springfield (Springfield it's a hell of a town!) I proceded to get my bags, to get my rental car and to hop on the road headed to Joplin, Missouri where Not only did I find one of these restaurants (which I did eat at and enjoyed)... but get this Murfreesboro, TN... THEY HAVE A MAZZIOS!!!!

There was this place we ate at called Bella Peppers which had this dish called...
Penne from Heaven -- which lived up to its name believe-you-me.
So after all was said and done and half a day in Cincinnati -- which isn't really a bad airport to get stuck in -- I came home and had a Rock City Alumni Cookout. It went well as far as I am concerned. We laughed, ate, drank and had a merry ol' time.
Anyway I guess that's about it...
