Oh, so creative. Wonderful descriptions - especially at the beginning.
What a character! This was very creative... made me think of Jan Karon's books.
The creativity of this entry stuns me. It's that good! Big time kudos!!!

What amazes me in all the stories I have read on this topic (and I have read many), how each one is so different. And this one certainly is that -- different. I am not sure I quite understood it, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't good. I am not familiar with the kind of life described here (the bar scene)...Helen

An Irish pub and a tall tale...and a very unique look at the topic. Good job.
