Nice Night

Never know what's going to happen. We visited our Queen Anne Hill favorite tavern -- guess it's on the market, broken urinal and all. Anyway $175,000 and it's yours.

Regular I didn't know came up to Father Kim & I. "I never take the Lord's name in vain," he slurred, "so you m---f---ers don't have to worry about me."

But we had a nice hour visiting with friends and hanging out.

At Kelly's it was hi R#3 and Don and the big news: Bartender J's birthday. I asked her at some point if she would have been happier taking the night off. "Heck no!!!" was her response, 'cause on your birthday everyone is a big tipper -- one guy gave her $50, so she was pretty happy -- singing along to the jukebox and wearing a tiara.

Drove north on Aurora -- hi to Nite's Inn where we place homeless families. Didn't realize how timely our visit would be -- ended up putting a couple there for the night; they didn't have kids with them but she said (and looked like) she was sick -- cancer.

God bless them all.
