You have reached one of the old pages on this siteI switched from Blogger to Movable Type on September 7, 2003. This page was made before that time. I'm keeping it here so that incoming links and bookmarks still work. No problem, really, just be aware that these old pages will not be updated. All of the old content was moved into Movable Type, and is accessible from the home page. We now returned to your regularly-scheduled blog. | |

Daytrips to Jonesborough, TennesseeDriving time from Knoxville: 2 hours
Where to point your car: West on I-40 to 81 North Jonesborough is Tennessee's oldest city and home to the National Storytelling Festival in October. There are great restaurants, antique stores, shops, and bed and breakfasts. During the tourist season there's music in the square on Saturday night. Melissa and I are getting married in Jonesborough this August. The ceremony will be at The Wedding Loft, and the wedding party will stay at the Eureka Hotel and the Blair-Moore House. Everything is within two blocks, so it's easy to walk everywhere. Jonesborough was once the home of U.S. President Andrew Jackson, who fought one of his many duels on the outskirts of town. An inn in town has hosted all three presidents from Tennessee: Jackson, Johnson and Polk. Jonesborough is right next door to Johnson City. Visit the Down Home if you like bluegrass and American music. There are also some working drive-in movie theaters in the area. I'll post pictures once I move the blog to the new site.

Which Les Jones are you?I'm the good-looking one. In the early days of the web around 1994 someone did a WebCrawler search for "les or leslie or lesley or lester jones" and made a mailing list. There were hundreds of us. I graduated Maryville (TN) High School and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (with a degree in biology). I worked for U.S. Internet until about a year after the IPO, and now work as an e-commerce manager in Knoxville. I was the author and owner of the award-winning 56K.COM from 1997 to 2003.
