Golden Afternoon, Nittany Lion Inn

Lunch date. Good times with good friends. Laughter, finally. The trees: a halo of golden fire.

Also of note: lobster bisque!


The soundtrack: in honor of the passing of a master, Jennifer Warnes and Leonard Cohen, with Joan of Arc.

It was deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of Joan of Arc,
And then she clearly understood
If he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?
