Elaine's is closing

Pretty sad. But when the owner of a place like that dies it's hard to keep it going. I was there 3 times. Once was a good time, another I was thrown out and the third time I was refused entry. I doubt that it was my fault the last time, though. I assume it was the 30 drunken ruby players I was with.
I'll miss you, pallie.

Too bad. Hope another local joint goes in its place, and not some T.J. Pickleshitter's chain nonsense.

I thought she'd died years ago. But then, I am on the left coast, and somewhat out of things.

There's a game called drinking, it's a lot like solitaire
