things are fine.
i still loathe the work i do here.
tara and i have been seeing one another every weekend, either her place or mine.
i haven't touched clay in 4 weeks or so. (see sentence above)
the weather is great.
i had a not-so-funny incident last night at the local tavern. another local drinker like myself, an acquaintance at best walks up to me, asks me to loan him 20 bucks, then 10, and i finally give him a 5 to buy him a beer... not a bottle of beer as he had been drinking previously, but a blue moon...
he then proceeds to start talking to me.... not even in intelligible sentences. i make him aware of that issue, and he continues to tell me about his weekend. please allow me to say, i came in the bar for peace and quiet, not cordial conversation.
sooooo, i leave... angry at myself for falling for his loan me money, so i can talk your ear off ploy.
i go have beers elsewhere, and decide on a nightcap at the first drinking establishment.... and lo and behold, there he is... drinking bottled beer again... he sees me, walks over to re-start his diatribe...
i simply excuse myself and leave the bar.
so, now i wonder what i should say to him next...
#1. dude, you crossed a line last night, no more beer or conversation for you.
#2. tell the bar owner about this little episode
#3. forget the whole thing, since it was only 5 bucks.
your thoughts?
