A quick 'there-and-back' visit for business meetings. It is such a delightful city, in so very many ways, with large quiet neighborhoods well-supplied with locally-owned restaurants.
OS and his bride rewarded themselves with dinner at Molly Malone's, on Baxter Avenue in the Irish Hill neighborhood. The potato-leek soup is heavenly, the shepherd's pie just yummy, the service always cheerful.
We had just made the trip to the post office to drop the Tax Document into the box held by the cheerful Postal Service employee in the parking lot, and Molly's was close by, so...why not? With the three-hour drive ahead, we couldn't drink, but could take in the jolly atmosphere.
It was packed, at least all the outdoor tables and the party deck. We opted for indoors, a/c, and quiet. The folks outside were uproariously loud, and very jolly. The banner had been hung over the deck--it was a gathering of accountants and employees sponsored by one of the CPA firms.
Post closing-time on 15 April, it was indeed time to blow off steam. Excellent HR move on someone's part. Hangovers and absences this morning won't mean diddly, anyway. Hopefully, days off were granted. The nation's supply of Jameson whiskey took a serious hit last night. OS thinks of whiskey as the principal reason God created corn, and Kentucky is a place that understands the Theology of Corn.
Three quiet cheers for a humane employer, and a gracious city.
Back on the road today.
