Home again: The Gatlinburg Trip
Nov. 12th, 2006 10:26 pmI am home from vacation! Notice that I said I am home, as sadly, M was unable to accompany me past Corbin, Kentucky (home of the most famous Kentucky personality. Okay, technically, he wasn't originally from Kentucky but geez, they don't really give us Lincoln, either, and he was, so, whatever. Did I just compare a fast-food chicken maven to one of the great presidents?)
He decided to stay and pursue a low-carb diet full-time as a lifestyle choice at David's Steakhouse. I will miss him, but it will save me a ton of money on pork.
I became inordinately frustrated at this point because I am unable to post a link to the entry I wrote in 2000 about our last visit to Corbin, where we ate at this very restaurant, at the same table even! This is largely due to the fact that I was not writing posts in 2000. Anyway, we met some Internet Friends (mud folk: Hettar and Dreamslider) there, as it was halfway between where I lived and where she is from. M had only been here for days at this point, so it was six years ago nearly to the day. We promised to meet at the first gas station off the interstate, and we ate at the steakhouse next door. They'd changed names since then, and the food was infinitely better than before. There were plenty of other places to eat in Corbin--we could even have gone to the original KFC! But a) I don't like KFC and b) that town, it likes to eat. We couldn't even get in at Shoney's, for the love of green beans. (I don't love green beans, either, actually.) I don't know what's wrong with a place when you can't even get seated at Shoney's. M, by the way, is still full from lunch, and has not eaten dinner yet. At ten o'clock.
Anyway! I am back and we sure did have a good time until I had to leave Boyo in Corbin. There was one very sad note to our trip, though.
( Cutting this annoys me but I guess I should because it's a little long. )
