Some personal news:

I just discovered a favorite pub has a happy hour.

Hold all calls.
A story about this pub...

Way back when my then-wife was pregnant with our son, she was rushed to the hospital with what turned out to be kidney stones.

I stayed until the hospital kicked me out and showed up at this pub on the way home at 1:30 in the morning.
It was long past last call.

The person at the door said “Sorry, mate. We already called last call.”

I said “I’ve been at the hospital all night...”

They let me in and drew me a pint.

That’s something you don’t forget.

Customer for life.
Drank my one pint.

Exhaled for the first time after a day I had spent worrying about my wife, worrying about our baby.

Breathed in for the first time.

Fifteen minutes of being around other people.

One beer.

Customer for life.
