"From the Inside Out," 2010 Russ Bralley

 

Lady Winter arrives and makes herself known to the Tennessee Mountains.

 

Had dinner tonight at one of my customary haunts - O' Charley's on Eastman Road.  Big shout-out to fellow outdoorsman and excellent waiter, Keith B (last name too long and complicated to mention here.)  Always feel at home and welcome there, thanks to the totally excellent staff.  Cheers!

This was a sunny, chilly, nice day.  I can handle the winter if the sun warms the room and the birds sing - which they did.  I hear rain and overcast skies are on the way, but also is the Winter Solstice, and after that the days will lengthen towards Spring - which I predict will come early after a frosty start.

 

Pear and Cheese Tort from Germany.

Shout out to Suzanne Voight at Texas Roadhouse tonight:  great service, great food, great conversation!  Thank you!
