You might say I set the bar low when it comes to the bars I know. Corny right? I got admit my brides been right all along I spent way too much time in bars. They were often my downfall, yes even my obsession.
I guess you could say one of my persistent regrets is that as a shade tree barfly kinda overdid it. At the detriment of my marriage and my family and my pocketbook and my work, if I had it to do over again ‘yes’ I would change a lot of it but hey it is what it is.
Hard to explain to you the reader without sounding like somehow I’m justifying much of what I did and didn’t do in those bars. Which is equally hard to tell the story without relishing in reliving it and to recount it in a way that doesn’t glorify my very selfish lifestyle without diminishing life’s lessons learned sitting on a barstool… Listening to jukeboxes striking up conversation with fellow barflies and feeling the buzz of a few drinks.
