And on the third day Pauly turned Barley Wine to water


Ah Sunday! The day to relax and get ready to hit the road the next day. Aw man, I cant leave without my debit card. Where the..what, come on. So Scott and I head downtown. First stop Mia's. Amazingly we had to go no further. I got my card and we started walking out. Something didn't feel right, so we sat and had a beer, then another, and another.... It was one of those days when I was on a roll, and poor Connie the bartender had to hear it all. Oh well, thats what tips cover too.
She's a big Bruce fan and hopes to move to NJ and work at the Stone Pony. Good luck.

So far that weekend I hadn't seen or heard from Stevie the Walrus. Calls were made and the next thing I know there he is tossing back at Mia's. Well how do you end a weekend of Barley Wine without hitting up Flag Brew for one or two more Crustys. Of course who do we run into there...Gus. Surly Mike, Mikey, Rita, Tex. Knowing my fear of most condiments I believe he was preparing for his move to Texas
and telling me to get out of town by sundown. Look over your shoulder Mikey.

One last stop. Back to the Wine Loft. Have you ever seen a walrus walking down stairs? Kind of looks like the phantom of the opera. The artist formerly known as Hey you.

And that is almost where it ends. This Sept. my parents will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, and man am I glad they stayed together. When Scott and I got back to the house the scene wasn't good. I felt like the child who blames himself for his parents divorce. There were differing opinions as to how the day should have been spent, and in our defense Scott and I started out with good intentions. Sunday WAS to be a day of rest. Well being imperfect people we tend to stray. It was a bad way to end a good weekend. My idea was to just leave right then. Where to I have no clue. Well things come and things go. The only reason people get upset with those close to them is just that, because they're close to them, they care. Its all water under the bridge now. Just hope the levy doesn't break.
