The Kemmons Wilson Shrine

I am at a Holiday Inn in Memphis, Tennessee. It seems that Holiday Inns were founded in Memphis by Kemmons Wilson back in the 1950s. Here, at the University of Memphis Holiday Inn, is a shrine to Kemmons Wilson, complete with pictures, bric-a-brac and lots of his aphorisms. I apparently have good karma when it comes to choosing Holiday Inns, because this is the Graceland of Holiday Inns.

Speaking of Graceland, I may be able to go there. I just found out my flight's been canceled. Austin is experiencing lots of ice and snow, and has ground to a halt. Memphis is cold and cloudy, but there's not preciptation.
