There should be a law against bars being closed on holidays. How is that even possible? Of all the days of the year for the bars in my neighborhood to be closed they pick Thanksgiving! I think that is insanity!! After running errands, cooking all day and dealing with family drama, a nightcap at your local pub is a requirement!! But no, nothing was open in my neighborhood. I qualify by saying ‘my neighborhood’ because I know for a fact that the gay bars in boystown were DEFINITELY open! As a matter of fact, the last time I went to boystown after spending all that joyous time with the family the bars were practically bursting at the seems!! But I was quite tired last night and didn’t want to venture that far. Now you can not tell me that straight folks are more adjusted when visiting their family than the gays! Nope, in my family everyone is fair game. The gay bars definitely have it right. Stay open on the big holiday. If the bars need to be closed they should pick something like Pulaski Day or President’s Day.
At least you had a holiday. I was at work.
Mind you, the pubs were open, so maybe I was better off after all.
I had a wonderful holiday in Louisville, KY. I have a college niece and nephew who are blast to be around. My Mom fixed a wonderful meal – it was her best. Southern trimmings (greens were out of this world) . My Dad who is fighting cancer was in a great mood and looked great. My sister and my brother-in-law were fun with the joking. I wish I could have stayed longer – but had to get back to Miami yesterday to attend to my business. No bars for me – maybe tonight though. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Hey we had a nice thanksgiving with 2 turkeys, you just cannot find obese turkeys (or children) in Paris and they were delish. Jim Benn was here with Jerry, that was quite a blast from the past and I was trying to get the gossip on him the whole evening but was too busy eating. Anyway Jose gave me the gossip later..
So it was fun, lots of laughs and as Jim would say that is why I live 4,000 miles away from my family
Reyna
I’m sure Dorothy’s was open….Just sayin’!
Pauly – What Reyna’s trying to say is, we didn’t need a bar – cuz we had familyless fun – but then again, you know how much fun we can have at Reyna’s! See you soon!
