Life is Good
So tonight I decided to treat myself to dinner. There's a new(ish) restaurant I'd been meaning to try, that specializes in local and fresh fare. I'm glad I did.
The nice surprise came after I'd been waiting for my food sometime. I apparently ordered just after a large group, but I was in no hurry, and I had a seat at a counter watching the open kitchen. The chef/owner came over to apologize and offer me another drink on the house. Now, every damn bar in Alabama has a big sign saying every drink is 1 1/4 oz booze. I had a glass of Glenmorangie they asked $8 for, and I happily payed. When my freebie arrived, it was easily a triple. The only thing better than fine whisky is free fine whisky.
Then the food came. Pecan crusted grouper. Various sides. The best meal I've had in weeks, if not months. I am such a sucker for good fish. Good fish plus free whisky and I'm set.
And now I'm about to see Crank 2 to round out the night. Maybe even the regular bar afterwards. Not bad at all.
