Forgive Me, Readers, For I Have Sinned

It's been a lot of days since my last blog post.

Louisville went by in a blur. I had a great time meeting old friends and making new ones, and I can't believe it's been less than a week since I've been back; it already seems ages ago.

Highlights/Random Bits of Information:

1) One of the best veggie burgers I've ever had was at Bluegrass Brewing Company on Fourth Street. Not that I am a connoisseur of veggie burgers, but I've had more than a few different kinds in my life, and as I say, this was one of the best. If you are a vegetarian in Louisville, you could do a lot worse than this burger.

2) But you could also do better if you want something a little more exotic, by crossing the street to Safier, an excellent Mediterranean dive. They really know how to make falafel at this place, and their Turkish coffee is delicious too.

3) Aside from good food, Louisville also has fireflies. I am jealous. We don't have fireflies in California, and I've always felt it was a shame. I love the little lightning bugs.

4) A highlight: the director of my writing program complimented me on one of my short stories. which she had happened to read. As you can imagine, this was pleasant.

5) Another highlight: the Gallery Hop last Friday night. Apparently, once a month Louisville's art galleries are open and free to the public in the evenings, and you can take the trolley for free too, up and down the street to the different galleries. I like trollies. A friend and I took the trolley down to Main (or was it Market?) and wandered around. I loved it. A special treat was hearing some incredible live music at the Kentucky Center--the musician's name was Teneia Sanders, and oh, her voice! The last song we listened to nearly made me cry, but in a good way.

Well, there was lots more, but I am getting tired and think I'll turn in. I'm sorry it took me so long to update my poor, sadly neglected blog. Thanks for being patient!

Til next time, which will hopefully not be too far away...
