St. Patrick’s day at Pappy’s Bar. \u00a0We went, stopping by for a brunch at Pappy’s, to get dogfood. \u00a0In Pappy’s the bartender had shamrock suspenders, a leprechaun hat with shamrocks and sunglasses, on top of the hat, clear with green lights blinking within the frame. \u00a0A waitress, a superannuated sort, had a tiny yellow hat with a green flower and a green t-shirt tuxedo, pressed out far enough in front to provide a handy cushion if she should tip over.<\/p>\n
At the end of the bar sat two young women, mid-twenties, sunglasses, eating eggs and sausage while tossing back Bloody Marys. \u00a0Next to us sat a younger couple, maybe early fifties, thin and fit looking. \u00a0She had on a Honolulu Harley-Davidson tee-shirt and a sad look, not sad today, necessarily, but a look that said life didn’t hold much sparkle for her. \u00a0He smiled, took a napkin and cleaned up the water after the bartender had wiped down the bar. \u00a0“It was wet,” he said.<\/p>\n
Kate ordered the senior special and I got cornbeef hash and eggs in honor of the traditional St. Patrick’s day meal.<\/p>\n
We took the last seats in the bar and there was quite a line waiting to eat in the restaurant portion. \u00a0This was at noon on Sunday. \u00a0A few folks had green tinted liquor drinks in highball glasses, but I saw no green beer.<\/p>\n
The sign read March 17, 1992. \u00a0We check I.D. \u00a0I was 45 in 1992.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
