Shameful/Shameless? confession from me:
Several days ago I went to a club that I often attend. Wow! It was packed.
I got my ID out and ready for the door-keeper who beeps us with that thing that crows -- or whatever that sound is.
A man arrived at the door at the same time I did. The door-keeper said, "Only two seats left."
I smiled at the guy next to me and said, "I guess that works. We can split them."
BUT, the other person trying to get in was too busy telling the door-keeper, "Oh, good. My friend is on the way."
At which point, I slithered through the door, got beeped, and disappeared into that big crowd in the room.
In my own defense though, had he been older or had mobility issues, I really would have stepped aside. I know that about myself. Without a doubt.
There is no answer to the seat-saving issue. They would need to hire big bouncers, not nice retired people who just want to work a few hours a week. And what would happen with the first punch or trampling if they tried to open the seats at a certain time. It ain't purdy either way.
There is no way I want to be among 'em tonight.
And so I am celebrating quietly.
I went to Publix wearing my green shirt. And guess what! Everybody working there was wearing a green shirt. It was so St. Pat's festive. (And they were all nice, too.) I also went to the liquor store where a guy gave me a little sample of Kerrygold Irish Cream. I guess Kerrygold is ready to give Bailey's a run for the market.
And then I came home where we will have dinner with company.
