something new

On my way home tonight I decided to stop off at a local Pub ... because I had nothing better to do. Well, I did have something better to do but I didn't want to do them. Anyway, it's a good thing I decided to stop there. I walk in and actually sit at the bar. I think that was the first time I've ever actually sat at the bar in a bar. There was only one seat. On my right was some dude talking to his girlfriend or something and on my left was Adam. But before I get to who he is I have to tell you what I ordered. The bartender lady comes up to me and I order a Four Horsemen, it's a good fairly dark beer reminiscent of something like Kilians but darker and better. Anyway, after sitting there for like 10 minutes watching whatever the hell was on espn (must've been good 'cause I don't remember) I decided to chat it up. How very unlike me. Dude on the right had his back to me but Adam seem approachable. I introduced myself and asked what beer he was drinking (i knew it was IPA but I couldn't think of anything else to say). He said his name was Adam [last name with held]. Turns out he had made a similar decision as I did just a couple minutes before I did. Namely, randomly visiting bars. But he had a fairly good reason. His brother was coming for Easter or something and was finding which places had the best beer. Adam is fairly new to this area as well. We ended up talking about videogames. Mainly old ones (NES era). Adam is a tick older than I. ... man I'm getting distracted by Dave Letterman. Anyway, Adam actually invited me for dinner at his place. Said he would have to call his wife first and make sure she wouldn't mind. I said that it's kind of weird since he just met me. I could be an axe murderer after all. He laughed and suggested he could be a cannibal or really didn't have a wife. Long story short. Adam and his wife Tracey are really nice. No kids but a couple of awesome dogs. A lab and a giant Dutch Shepherd (first I've seen of one of those). We played some of his old nintendo games. He frickin' had Ninja Warriors! I was impressed. Three of us played scrabble. The largest word I got was 'honor'. I sucked. But Tracey's Margaritas made it fun.
