the brilliancy medley

Al fresco bloggin' live from downtown Asheville. Dusk is dusking, an all-female jazz combo is about to start up, and I'm sipping from a somewhat less than expertly poured Guinness. (ah but it's a French bistro... what do they know from pouring Guinness? and anyway, even a less than perfect Guinness is still about as good as it gets in a glass). Too bad I can't really think of anything interesting to say. Sarah's already written up the wonders of the Cliff House. It's cool being there. But it's just cool to be on vacation, even a short one. We hacked around Asheville yesterday. Had a lazy morning today and then went to the NC Arboretum, which was very nice even tho I was dressed for the cool hazy pre-noon weather and not the warm sunny afternoon weather.
