Flash Mob Mañana @ a Food Bar Near You

Spending the night in a cabin on the side of Lookout Mountain; having gotten up at 1:30 AM, and, having hit the road by 2 ... all's well.

Those of you who've traveled with family know how punchy peeps get on little sleep and super-sized anticipation. For instance:

We stopped for lunch at a Ryan's food bar and, at meal's end, having sized-up the local clientele in the Tuscaloosa establishment -- and having fantasized that they would enjoy such an event -- I looked at my wife and 3 children and said:

"Alright, here's the deal: I'm gonna go over and stand by the entrance, Mary Catherine, you stay here; the rest of you spread out and, like those YouTube videos, I'll start the Hallelujah Chorus and ...

Y'all join in."

They didn't buy it.

Instead, we decided that we would, next outing, just walk over to a table and start clapping and singing "Happy Birthday to You".

(We later agreed: Not without disguises and only after having learned it in Spanish.)

Anyway, we're not there yet, so ... as you were.
