Hiking Nature

Friday, February 13, 2009

There are quite a few great things about hiking at Radnor Lake in Nashville, and one of them has got to be running into people from the past! I must have run into dozens of former coworkers, employers, old party friends, and other acquaintances while hiking at Radnor Lake since I moved back to my hometown of Nashville from Atlanta in 2006.

Some of these old acquaintances I might never again have recalled, while others I thought of numerous times over the years, thanks to one memory jogger or another. Joel definitely qualifies as the latter. Anyone who knows Joel cannot help but think of him as they drive through Green Hills between Thanksgiving and Christmas; he’s the guy that sells Fraser firs and other xmas trees at Hillsboro High School, right across from the Mall at Green Hills.
