Tennessee?

My dad suggested checking out Knoxville, TN as a possible retirement place. I thought, "Yeah right," but it has a lot going for it. It's diverse and multicultural. Lots of arts and music. Plus there are a lot of great hiking spots in the Smokies. Road trip (once we get past the virus)! My boss, who's from Tennessee, also suggested Chattanooga. I've looked into it, and it seems like it's worth checking out. Both cities have operas!
At work, we talked about when to go back to the library, and we're thinking about the beginning of August. (I said that I'd like a couple of weeks to get settled before school starts.)
COVID-19 cases increased, and the Fed issued a bad economic forecast, so people sold their stocks. Sheesh. Saw that coming. The rest of the year is going to be a roller coaster, but we knew that.
Decided to lie down for a while before cooking dinner, and woke up at 1:30 AM. Woke up with "Pomp and Circumstance" playing in my head even though that's not what I was dreaming about. My mind is a weird place to visit. Threw a can of chunky soup in the microwave and threw some laundry in the washer. Did dishes.
Read a bunch of reviews of places on Best Places. Time to go back to sleep.
