Cisco Fest 2022, Part Eight
September 16 – 28 Sunday dawned bright and clear, and I hung out at the apartment until it was time to head up to Summit Coffee in Davidson to meet Joanna (after her book club outing) and members of her Carolina family, including Debi, daughter Kristen and her husband Brian, and Shaun’s partner Hannah and […]
Cisco Fest 2022, Part Seven
September 16 – 28 I landed in Charlotte around noon for what would be almost a week of catching up with our many friends and former neighbors there. Joanna picked me up at the airport and our first order of business was lunch, as we’d be consuming mass quantities of vino, as it our usual […]
Cisco Fest 2022, Part Six
September 16 – 28 In anticipation of our touring the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience at 1:30, Doug opted to miss the tour and have lunch with a relative who works downtown. To kill time the rest of us hit a Starbuck’s a couple of blocks away, a welcome break from the alcohol-heavy routine we’d been […]
Cisco Fest 2022, Part Four
September 16 – 28 With some time to kill before our next tour, we made our way back north to Bardstown and after some debate, and driving around looking at options, settled on Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken, which specializes in chicken, homestyle sides, and biscuits. After the sale of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in 1964, […]
Cisco Fest 2022, Part Three
September 16 – 28 Our first full day on the Bourbon Trail would be a full one, both from a time elapsed standpoint and an enjoyment quotient perspective. We’d be heading south 50 miles to the small town of Loretto, home of Maker’s Mark. Long one of my favorite brands (I’ve also consumed prodigious quantities […]
Cisco Fest 2022, Part Two
September 16 – 28 We left the farm and having seen all that liquid pumping through the collection mechanism, realized that we all needed a bit of our own wet refreshment to carry us through the afternoon. This led to a stop at Beachwood, the kind of casual bar you can often find close to […]
Cisco Fest 2022, Part One
September 16 – 28 As mentioned in the last post, a few weeks after our return from Europe I had a total right knee replacement. The surgery went well as did my recovery, which is long and somewhat arduous as one must be diligent about protecting the limb while it is healing as well as […]
Europe 2022 – Munich, Part Five
June 25 – 27 The next morning, given the long lead time between waking up and eventually getting food on the plane, we opted to enjoy the hotel breakfast at 12-Euros apiece and were very glad to have done so as it came a close second to the one we had experienced at the Meininger […]
Europe 2022 – Munich, Part Four
June 25 – 27 Having been to Munich so many times in the past and although it seems hard to believe from these last couple of posts that all we did while here was drink beer, in fact we’ve hit almost all the major tourist spots. These would be, in no particular order: In […]
Europe 2022 – Munich, Part Three
June 25 – 27 We entered the BMW Museum on the ground floor and then worked our way to the top of the “salad bowl or white cauldron” via a spiral walkway then wound our way back down a floor or two, the exhibits here focusing on the company’s sustainability initiatives. From the first-floor ground […]
