I remember hearing the quote from @boringcompany about how Nashville's rock is hard and thinking it didn't sound like what I'd heard. The rock is actually soft, but that doesn't make tunneling easy. Explained here: https://t.co/8hIeJSa9Va
What I learned in this episode about Percy Priest Lake:
1. A record 76lb fish was likely 80 yrs old.
2. Best campsites are 11/12 at Anderson Rd.
3. The rowing club once sank a $45k boat during practice.
Also shared my story about a stowaway raccoon.

My son who was an infant when Valor was a startup charter was lucky enough to get a lottery spot. He started 5th grade today. We definitely feel like we hit the lottery. He was even more excited than me.
A decade ago, I did a batch of stories about @valorcollegiate. Charter schools were a touchy topic in Nashville, and Valor flew above the fray with its pitch to make cultural and economic diversity a cornerstone. I had an infant at the time. [thread] https://t.co/REOBIN8noz
The academics are incredible. But that's not what impressed me so much initially. It was that they were perhaps more focused on social-emotional learning, and not in a touchy-feely way (though I definitely teared up the first time I watched this). https://t.co/SwCNO8KDZF
First time to attend a @WPLN event purely as a supporter. Rather looking forward to it. I mean, @khalilekulona and @MelissaJoanHart? Yeah. https://t.co/KURthkfCdF
Making my former @WPLN colleagues proud as a “bold member of society.” Someone told me today that they heard about me eating a live cicada on the radio. Adding to my @LinkedIn bio. https://t.co/m2k6tUbshx

The only minority without a home at @nprnews is a conservative. Good for @uberliner for speaking truth about an institution I also love. I can only imagine the flack he’s catching. https://t.co/yIxh46xEDZ
