  Stop trying to live in them.

  I like to "feel at home" wherever I am. It's a personal prerequisite I guess. I've always been the idealist. There is a new irish pub in town my wife and I want to go to.

  I know the feeling; I've always felt out of place in bars. My daughter competes in a lot of karaoke contests and likes me to come see her, but I've never been comfortable on the few occasions when we've gone. Even when I was young and single, I never enjoyed being in bars. Not sure if it's the JW thing or something else.

  Why should anyone ever feel at home at a bar?

  I remember one time I was at a bar standing close to the bar and all of a sudden I mean everyone was fighting the whole place was a mad house knock down drag out and I was standing there drinking my drink like nothing was going on.

  I used to like bars when I was young because men would talk to me. Now nobody talks to me.

  Hmm- nobody talks to you?

  The Sportsman's Double--
  
  I ended up talking with an older woman at a club last night. She looked okay for a 57-year-old.

  We drank a bit, and talked awhile, and she asked if I'd ever had a Sportsman's Double.

  "What's that?" I asked.

  "It's a mother and daughter threesome," she said.

  I said, "No."

  We drank a bit more, then she says that tonight was my lucky night.

  We went back to her place.

  She flipped on the hall light and hung up our coats and then shouted upstairs: " Hey Mom, you still awake?" I found one for us!

  They make me comfortable unless they are very elegant. I could never afford dinner but perhaps a single drink. There was an authentic Irish bar a few blocks from me. It was very gritty with sawdust on the floor. As from upscale as you can get. Its big claim was that it refused to serve to women, even after req'd by law. NOW NY marched on it and invaded it. It was so crummy that it true character.
