This picture is the TN State Capital building on "the hill". At one point it was the tallest point in Nashville. This is where the TN House of Representatives and the Senate meet.

The second picture is in one of the committee rooms at the TN Legislative building. We were listening to a lecture from a Capital Hill Lobbyist.

Official Business

I have just returned from a day long series of meetings at the TN State Capital attending both the House and Senate sessions. This whole day has been extremely interesting and educational. I had the opportunity to observe my local elected officials in action. I even saw Representative Dr. Joey Hensley, R-Hohenwald at the House general assembly. I waved at him from a distance- he waved back, but I could tell he wasvpuzzled by who I was (it was rather far).
I have about an hour before our Leadership Bartlett class has dinner with our House Representatives: Jim Coley and Ron Lollar and Senators Paul Stanley and Mark Norris.
I have greatly enjoyed this day and I know that tomorrow will be even better.
I hoped to update the blog with some pictures I took, but was unable to get the camera to work(more on that later).

Breaking News. . .

I got to tour the WMC News Channel 5 studio today and chat with several of the weather anchors. This is a picture of the news "on-air" studio desk.
FYI- all the artwork in the background are actually banners. That is also the same studio where the old Monday Night Wrestling was held- Mohammand Ali and Hulk Hogan both fought in that studio.
