Bar #1 - The blog idea is created

On most days, I work from home, and though I totally prefer this from the work perspective, some days by 5pm, I am so bored that I need to get out.  I have a great local bar where everyone knows your name.  But there is no way I am finding love in that pub - so on a random Thursday night, I decided to actually do my hair, put on real clothes and go out.

I decide to go to a bar in my hometown square, Marietta. I would categorize it as a trendy cocktail bar;  games, craft beer, fancy cocktails and great food. I have been there before, I have even been on dates there so I assumed it was the closest place with a chance to find someone interesting to share a drink with.

Upon entering, I see the place is completely packed which means I am hopeful for at least some eye candy.  I walk around the bar and finally find ONE seat.  I ask if it's open and am obliged the seat.  Well, it turns out, I am next to the only single guy in the place, sadly, he is about 70 years old. 

I order a fancy cocktail thinking that my luck could change at any time.  First, I am a Tito's and Soda girl, with a lemon, if you must know.  But I enjoy a nice fancy cocktail every now and then.  I order one made with "bison grass vodka", pine, lemon and raspberry.  Now in hindsight, what the heck is Bison Grass Vodka?  It arrives and it looks Delish!  The gentleman next to me even says, "wow, I hope that is as good as it looks" - I quickly answer: NO.  Sometimes a cocktail is just too fancy I guess.  Not sure if it was the Bison Grass or the pine but I struggle through it; surveying the crowd all along.

Couples, large parties, an obnoxious group talking about their nephew in college etc.  No joke, only other single person is my neighbor.  Luckily he is very nice and we have some casual conversation.

I quickly switch to a Tito's and Soda hoping to at least relieve my wallet of the $10 cocktails and give it one more chance for new clientele to arrive.  

After two drinks, no luck, no hope for any new arrivals and I decide my local bar is a better place to be.

That's when this concept came about.  Love in the Pub.

  1. Perhaps 3D printing would come to mind or laser engraving or probably something to do with semiconductor fabrication. But we might argue that none of these manufacturing Direct CNC processes has the facility to vary the world in as important a way as CNC machining. In the twenty first century, manufacturing with CNC machined components is actually altering the world. Today, CNC offers the ultimate word|the ultimate word} in flexibility, prime quality, and reliable machining services.

Beer and Bisque

The holidays is usually seriously downtime for me so I try to hit a few pubs that are normally out of my normal routine.  Perfect for scout...
