I will never get anything done.<BR/><BR/>On topic: I feel dirty. I've been to the 1881. I went there with the bride and the Maid of Honor just before the wedding. It was a Caltechian avocado tree extravaganza in Sierra Madre. The bride wore a vintage chiffon dress with butterflies all over. <BR/><BR/>We sat there in the hot stench of cigarettes, beer, and dirty leafy green. The bartender wore a tube top.Patrizzi Intergarlicticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16047084173908563600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-57312864011579420172008-09-15T17:50:00.000-07:002008-09-15T17:50:00.000-07:00Virginia, you crack me up.Virginia, you crack me up.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-12221517756262027212008-09-15T10:06:00.000-07:002008-09-15T10:06:00.000-07:00Great old sign and I don't blame you for admiring ...Great old sign and I don't blame you for admiring from afar.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-49234279577764645682008-09-15T08:48:00.000-07:002008-09-15T08:48:00.000-07:00"You're burning with your last desireAnd every mem..."You're burning with your last desire<BR/>And every memory haunts you<BR/>You write it down in alcohol fire<BR/>'Cause that's the only thing that wants you …<BR/><BR/>"And every once in a while<BR/>You could hear your own heart pound<BR/>Maybe some paper doll with a pasted-on smile<BR/>Would let you write her number down …"<BR/><BR/>(JH)John Sandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149954535616537207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-45824243114291292332008-09-15T07:36:00.000-07:002008-09-15T07:36:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-10075533491028592622008-09-15T07:34:00.000-07:002008-09-15T07:34:00.000-07:00ginab: I'm with you, Kris (from a classic old beau...ginab: I'm with you, Kris (from a classic old beauty)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-33412949715177129522008-09-14T22:27:00.000-07:002008-09-14T22:27:00.000-07:00Bernie made me knock my wineglass over.

It was packed in/out! The main reason you won't see me as a regular barpatron is the $5+ a glass fee & my luv of the cup 'o joe.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, visit your loco bar when you need a little time to get away from the hubby & kids. Make a new friend. Let your true trash-talking self free again.
