Worked a little, then after work I met up with Chad for some dinner. We waited in line at Brann's, but deemed the wait was too long. there was also a man in Brann's that looked identical to Michael Cera. Seriously, I'm pretty sure Michael Cera was in Grandville last night. Anyway, line is too long, so we go to Cracker Barrel. Here's a place I haven't been to since 2002 or 2003. Walking in, the sights and smells brought me back to that good smelling general store feel. The candy, the fronteir clothing, the christmas apparel, it was very cozy. We ate and I ordered a lot of food, and I mean a lot. Salad, Rueben, cole slaw, chili, and the best sweet tea I've ever had. Mcdonalds has nothing on Cracker Barrel sweet tea.
Afterwards I went back to Chad's where we surfed the web for a bit, and then met Melissa, April, and Kaitlin at the theater and saw "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles", a 1980's cult classic directed by the late great John Hughes. The film was in blu-ray high def, and looked and sounded glorious. The entire day was like a memory trip. Seeing the old cars and listening to the 80's music in the film, plus being at Cracker Barrel really brought up the past. And this is a past, that I enjoy.
