The Menger Bar was where Teddy Roosevelt recruited volunteers for the Rough Riders for the first American Cavalry that fought in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. The Menger Bar is exact 19th Century replica of the House of Lords Pub in London. It has paneled cherry wood ceiling, beveled mirrors from France and decorated glass cabinets.
friday night, and i'm stopping by too late, i know.
a friend whose older son is diagnosed with terminal cancer (younger son suicided at age 18) has occupied my time and thoughts for a couple days, and the Connecticut shootings are just horrid. yeah, i'm emotional, and this is uncommon for me.
my own children have flirted with the edge enough, but i've never actually had to survive losing a child. yet. may that continue!
saturday night and i've done wrapping all the gifts, ready for delivery. some i'll hang on neighbors' doorknobs on Christmas Eve, some my son will pick up next weekend, a few I'll take to the pool midweek, and the rest i'll take when i go to visit the weekend after Christmas.
