Well, another memorable year has ended and a new one begun. As I age, all years are memorable, however, they seem to meld.
My wife and I did something unusual for last night - we went out!
My wife and I did something unusual for last night - we went out!
We went to dinner with an old friend from college (her roommate) and then on to a biker bar in Greenfield to take in a band for which the percussionist is a classmate, as is his wife, of my two dates. The expectations were, how shall I put this, not real high. It was a "biker" bar and the friends (couple) are not all that close, but, we had nothing else to do.
The food was better than expected at Champs, but the music venue was surprisingly pleasant, even considering its smokiness. The band performed '60's and '70's covers and were better than expected as well. The bar had been freshly painted a beige color and had lots of polished aluminum and steel grate tables, resembling a bike production or maintenance garage. Pretty cool. Then, as the magic hour approached, a generous spread of home-made snack meats, cookies, deviled eggs and cheese trays were offered free (no cover charged even) and the typical festive trinkets were distributed. Then the piace (sp?) de resistance, champagne was poured, again on the house. All-in-all, it was a pleasant and memorable New Year's Eve.
I recommend "Fat Boy's Roadhouse" in Greenfield, WI for your New Year's Eve festivities, if you're looking for an inexpensive, casual but enjoyable experience.
As for the year to come, I pray for health (not health care), happiness and success for us all and for cooler heads to prevail in regards to government's intrusion and deficit raising.
