O’Charley’s, Nashville Airport (BNA), TN USA

The sign caught my eye: “Good food, Good times. Come on it for good food.” “Good” wasn’t the most exciting word, but the redundancy is what got me. I had walked around the airport for a solid 30 minutes – O’Charley’s was the only spot with a club sandwich and with my hunger at an […]

Double Tree Hotel, Roswell, GA USA

Ricky’s wedding was great. Rachel and I had a blast celebrating with Ricky’s friends, while Ricky and Kelly posed for photos, said hi to guests, and were serenaded with speeches. Come to think of it, after the ceremony was over, I didn’t see much of them at all… a sign of what’s to come during […]

The Café, Taj Hotel, Boston, MA USA

Finishing up the work week enjoying lunch with my grandmother – the plan sounded perfect for a Friday afternoon. Yaya, as we call her, was visiting for the month from Palm Beach and staying at the Taj Hotel in Boston on Arlington Street. Due to my traveling, I hadn’t seen her for over a year, so it […]
