Cat Sheets...

Never, ever pass up on an opportunity to laugh at yourself!  I laugh at myself almost non-stop. Some people think I'm "special."

I was just making my bed.  I have lime green flannel sheets with kittens and balls of string and mice on them.  I had to chuckle.  For many reasons.  I really don't care what's on my flannel sheets.  But it is funny that a mid-30's male has lime green kitten sheets.  I am completely, 100% confident that I will be the only one who ever sees these sheets.  No young ladies will ever comment on how cute the sheets are.  The "dry spell" will continue, even as Falls Lake is back to normal levels.  And my kitten sheets will be my own private indulgence.

I now am beginning to understand how old people can completely "let themselves go."  You really do stop caring about certain things.  Priorities of my 20's are basically silly to me now. Yes, Widespread Panic will be at the Creek in two weeks.  And no, I don't give a damn.  And no, I will not be in the crowd listening to the same songs I've heard for almost 20 years.

I just don't care about things like that anymore.  I don't care that I have lime green kitten sheets.  I'm not quite to the black knee socks and plaid shorts up to my arm pits yet.  Hopefully there's still some time before I throw those cards in.

Never, ever pass up the opportunity to laugh at yourself!!!

My love for music

I've been wondering lately which one of my kids is going to catch the music bug. Or if any of them will. I was about 8 years old (Wyatt's age) when I caught the bug. I remember a Christmas around that time when I got two albums, Elton John's Greatest Hits and Neil Diamond's Greatest Hits. I wore those albums out! And my aunt Nan loaned me a stack of albums and said that one day I'd thank her. I can't remember the exact albums, but I know one was Frank Zappa. One was the Rolling Stones. I believe there was a Zeppelin and a Grateful Dead. When I first got into music, it was all vinyl. There was a local music shop in Fayetteville called Paradise Records. They also had tapes. Then one day these things called CDs appeared. The CD section was tiny at first. And my first CD was Huey Lewis and the News 'Sports.' But that section quickly grew and before you knew it, the record section was almost non-existent. We used to go to the record shop all the time. Back th...

Thoughts On Bars and Bartending

  Now for some thoughts about bars and bartending, which I did for 25 years. BIG disclaimer: these are my opinion. They're opinions based on a ton of experience on both sides of the bar. But please don't take them as fact. Within the hierarchy of the restaurant, the bartender is right behind the chef at the very top. Both the chef and the bartender are responsible for creating things. Both should be expertly skilled. And both are the reasons that guests come to the restaurant. I got my first bartending gig in 1998. I attended a bartending school which the BIGGEST waste of time and money. I'll explain why shortly. My first gig was at the Angus Barn. I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I had never bartended a day in my life. But their hiring philosophy was to hire good people (which they couldn't train) and then train those good people to do what they needed to do. I was there for two years. I got better with each shift. Looking back I realize that I was awful. A...
