Where In The World Is Sum1?

Carousing in Cary NC Again

Locale:  Cary, North Carolina, right outside Raleigh.



Restaurants Dined At/Meals:

         Flying Saucer Draught Emporium  http://www.beerknurd.com/stores/raleigh/

         If you haven't visited a location of this restaurant, you really should.  There are almost 100 (yes, that's the right number, 100) different beers on tap there, as well as another 100 or so in bottles and cans.  The night I was there, I had 'Rocket Tots', bite sized cheese and pepper potato tots with habanero sour cream dip.  Excellent, with a bit of a bite!  For my meal, I had their Green Chile Pork Stew.  Another Yummy entree.

         Tony's Bourbon Street Oyster Bar    http://tonysoysterbar.com/

         Their food is very good, not quite authentic New Orleans food, but excellent nonetheless.  After having Shrimp & Grits in Charleston, I had to try theirs.  Very good, but I had to tell them that I thought the tomatoes detracted from the dish.  They had this Andouille Sausage, Tasso Ham and Tasso Gravy going, with Shrimp, Grits, and Cheese.  But the tomatoes seemed to alter the taste profile, at least for me.  Even though I really like tomatoes, I had to set them aside.


Other Tidbits for this trip:

         The customer this week is the City of Cary.  I'm here for the third time, with the same two students I've had each time before.  Class has gone well, but when you've taught it for 14 years, it should go well, no matter who the students are.  Next week I'll be in Reading, Pa, not too far from the StoryMaster & StoryMistress.  As much as it would be great to really meet them, I know they love their privacy.  So I will remain in Reading, and they can rest peacefully, knowing this old man won't try and stalk them or their house.    After that I'm home for a week before going to Chantilly, Va once again.  Like most of you, my life has been very busy, but that's good in my opinion.  Hope y'all are doing well, and writing like we all want to.  I have a new story in mind, but it's a long ways from being started yet.  Still simmering in my mind as I put things together slowly.  We'll see what happens with it when the time comes.
