Carolyn had a pocket full of sunshine, but then she accidently sat on it. 5:57pm

And darkness descended on the land...

Carolyn Molway at 10:21pm October 21
Haha yes, and then we all froze, sorry guys..

Philip Harmon at 10:23pm October 21
And to think, everyone's been going on about these green house gases and such... when all along it was your ass that done sent us into the frozen years!

Carolyn Molway at 10:29pm October 21
It changes lives.

Philip Harmon at 10:32pm October 21
I'm assuming we're talking about your ass and not green house gases or frozen years. But to go with my assumption (which, as you know, makes an ass out of me and you), you should use that fine ass of yours for good, not evil...

It helps me get jobs and higher tip percentages

Philip Harmon at 10:46pm October 21
Then you are using it for good. So go forth, young Carolyn, and snuff out not the sun, but shake that ass and reap the sweet rewards. The world is your oyster, so shake that booty. (If you could hear me right now, I'm making a "rrrrrrr" cat sound as I snap my fingers in some hipster dufus way that I don't understand but somehow think is cool...

Carolyn Molway at 10:50pm October 21
Ha I'm going to have to before gravity takes hold of it.

Philip Harmon at 10:52pm October 21
let's see... 2007-1987= 20 years old. Think time is on your side, there hot pants...

Philip Harmon at 10:54pm October 21
No wait... shit, its 2008, isn't it? That equals 21 right? Oh, well now you're fucked!

Carolyn Molway at 11:03pm October 21
It's all downhill from here Phil

Philip Harmon at 11:06pm October 21
Ain't it the truth, my dearest. But the good news for you is that at least you won't go bald! Oh yeah, and you're really hot. So, wait, shut the hell up! I'm the one should be crying in my cheerios!

Carolyn Molway at 11:11pm October 21
Ha, Phil, are you just trying to blow sunshine up my ass?

Philip Harmon at 11:15pm October 21
Nicely done! I was hoping we were going to get back to your ass. But of course, being the southern gentleman that I am, I couldn't just go straight back there (man, are there some puns there!!!) But since we're back... why yes, that is exactly what I'm trying to do. Sunshine up your ass. I wouldn't have it any other way (again with the puns)!

Carolyn Molway at 11:17pm October 21
HAHA! Ok this is getting bad, I'm deleting this before my family reads it adios muchacho

Philip Harmon at 11:17pm October 21
adios my dear!

  At some point recently, the kids and I were telling each other stories. I can ’ t remember who went first, but Wyatt and Pepper each told their stories amid interruptions and corrections and suggestions. Let’s say for the sake of argument that Briar wasn’t talking yet, so it became my turn. Rather than the usual stories of kingdoms and unicorns and the garden variety stuff I usually went for, I decided to pull from my memory of past events. The kids listened in amazement, not really understanding  what I was talking about. The story was a hit. And I think I’ll share it with you now. It was the summer of 1993. I had finished my first year of college at The College of Charleston. At the end of summer, I would be transferring to NC State. I enjoyed College of Charleston very much. I loved the 9-to-1 girl-to-guy ratio. It had been a great year. But I had spent most weekends driving up and back from Raleigh to see my girlfriend Marcia. At some point during the year, I had decided...

Thoughts on a Mix Tape

For as long as I can remember, I have loved music. I can remember getting ‘Elton John’s Greatest Hits’ and ‘Neil Diamond’s Greatest Hits’ when I was just a little guy. And I can remember constantly going to the record store to get new music. When I first started, it was all vinyl. Soon after that, there was a big change to cassette tapes. The record store looked a lot different than before. Tapes didn’t take up much room, so the layouts of our music shops changed. And then came CDs. I can remember the first CD sections were tiny, usually shoved in a corner. The first CD I ever bought was ‘Huey Lewis and the News: Sports,’ not because this was the CD I was looking for, but because there wasn’t much of a selection and that was all I could find. Kids today wouldn’t know what to do with a cassette tape. I’m sure they’d look at it like it was an alien relic. And when they discovered the tape itself could be pulled out, there’d be loose tape strewn about like toilet paper. They definitely we...

More Thoughts on Bars and Restaurants

  Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that I spent 25 years of my life in the restaurant business, especially now that I’ve been out for five years. I worked at some great places. I worked with some great people. Some amazing chefs. And I had a great time. Most of the time. During my time in the business, I learned the ins and outs of a restaurant and a bar. I even took my knowledge and experience further by attending The Culinary Institute of America up in Hyde Park, NY. But that’s for another post. This post is to share some of my thoughts on the business, as well as some suggestions for how to act in a restaurant or bar. Heed my suggestions if you want, or don’t. It’s all good. But should you try a few of them out, you might just find that your experience was a little better. A little more special. A little more magical. And finally, for those of you who are reading this and are in the business or have been at some point, I hope that this post makes you smile, giggle, and nod ...

Thoughts on depression

I've had depression for as long as I can remember. For most of that time I have self-medicated in one form or another. As I get older, my relationship with my mental health has matured and I find myself looking at it and dealing with it in different ways. And looking back since the days of Covid, I remember the dozen-plus friends that I've lost, though not all of them were from depression, and realize that confronting our mental health and finding a way to live with it is crucial. Through my 25 years of bartending, I came to understand what alcoholism really looks like. I saw it every night and it looked different on every person. What I came to know, to truly know and believe, is that alcoholism is not something that can be determined by filling out some government questionaire. It is an individual disease. What becomes a problem for one person does not effect the other person. I could serve one regular six doubles of Jack Daniels and feel fine with how they were. And I could ...

Thoughts on My Children Growing Up

  Nine. Seven. Four. How is that possible? My kids are growing up. I can remember holding them in the hospital when they were just born. And now I'm fussing at them for raiding the refrigerator. I tell my little girls almost every day to stop growing up. They're at the perfect age right now. They're at the perfect size. The world isn't the mean, cold place that you and I live in. Santa Claus is real. Dreams can still come true. Hopes have not yet been dashed. Hearts haven't been broken. So, stop growing up, damn it! Enough already! I'm sure this is true with every generation, but it's so much different for my kids than it was for me. I'm willing to go on record, though, that Gen X's kids have a WAY different childhood than their kids are having. I'm reminded of this daily. A few days ago, Briar and I walked to the big kids' school to join them on their walk home. We met another mom who is a good friend of ours and we chatted on our walk. The ...
