Frank is distracted by the kinesthetic tape on Kathryn’s arm. He recalls a time that she was disappointed when her tape was visible in a newspaper photograph. Someone recently asked her if it was a tattoo.

Frank took posters for the Cathedral concert to several libraries. He got stuck in traffic near the library in Sequoyah Hills. After sitting still for about half an hour, he realized he was stuck in a school pickup line.
Frank buys a Knox County Schools coupon book every year but barely uses it. He did use a coupon to get free Oreo dust for his grandsons’ ice cream cones at Cruze Farm.
Kathryn says she hadn’t previously noticed that Frank can be somewhat OCD. After the Marble City Opera concert at Cherokee Caverns, Frank was particular about giving Kathryn a poster from the middle of the pile. He used to only buy newspapers from the middle of the pile. His sisters once pranked him by cutting holes in his newspaper.
Frank saw his neighbor’s son at the supermarket but the guy didn’t recognize Frank. A few moments later, Frank recognized the Dancing Blue Shirt Guy who was in a viral video recorded last year at a Vols football game.

Frank picked two Brown Turkey figs before they were fully ripe because some nocturnal animals have been taking figs, even if Frank had put the figs in lace drawstring bags. Frank saw a “Charlie Brown” fig plant at Lowe’s and asked the cashier for a discount.
Kathryn suggests that they take the camera to various locations she is considering for Marble City Opera. She also thinks there should be a reality show about the opera business.
Jere’s sister and her husband visited Knoxville over Labor Day weekend. They went to several nice restaurants including Lonesome Dove for lunch on Saturday and Aretha Frankenstein’s for brunch on Sunday.
