(Funny, my employee number used to be 88.)

Wow, Straw Houses came up as the number one entry. I didn't even divulge how much I'd made in tips.

The person looking this up landed in my lap and according to her blog she's very happy in the city she's in and just settling in there. Hmmm.

She's a baby blogger. Hope the wolves don't get her. She had some questions on her blog I could've answered but I won't because she's much to new to this to know about stat counters. Don't wanna freak her out.

Bartending. Sometimes I miss it.

I wonder about the the strange guy that used to come in and say, "Gimme a Bud."

That's about all he'd say. That and once he'd gotten his beer he'd say, "Watch out or the pygmies will get your head."

I'd say, "Excuse me?"

His response,"I'm not talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to the wall."

Ah yes, Bud man. Very predictable conversationalist.

"When you say...
...you've said it all." I guess.

I wonder what happened to ... the guy who's mom went out for a pack of cigs when he was three and never came back.

When his dad remarried he and his sisters were separated. They were put into foster care because their dad's new wife didn't want children. How f'd up is that?

... was an interesting guy. Managed a steel company. After years of living on the edge because of his trauma- he gave up his reckless bachelorhood at the age of
thirty-five. Met a divorcée with five kids and became a dad. Major turn around. He'd pretty much tried to squash his feelings with drinking and risky behavior till they met.

Meeting his wife saved his life. He openly admitted to it many times over the ten years we spent talking.

Later on in life he was reunited with his mom and two sisters. It wasn't a big happy reunion though it did offer some resolution. His mom was basically mentally ill. She'd been virtually a teenager when she'd had her kids. A husband in the military. Unsupportive and unavailable. Very cold man as I see it. Knowing this doesn't excuse her behavior but puts some perspective on the situation.

People often think that bartenders are lay therapists. Not exactly true. Just good listeners. I never tried to solve anyone's problems. Just took them in without judgement.

Perhaps that's why ... returned every night for ten years till he retired out west.
