Irish Coffee Day
Irish Coffee Day [Jan 25]
Of course beer wasn't enough, so I headed out to my local pub. I love this bar. Every guy needs a local pub and mine's a Guinness one where they serve ice cold draught beer straight out the tap. I know you can get that in every bar, but when you're really in need of a cold one, you really appreciate that they are there!
So I walked into the pub and there's this redhead sitting at the bar all by herself. I was in the mood to talk to someone so I told Pete, the bartender in a volume she'd hear, "I'll have what the lady's having, and get another one for her." Then I walked over to her. "Hey there tiger," she greeted. She was drinking Irish Coffee--good thing it wasn't one of them 'mind eraser' cocktails--not that I'd have minded at that point. We struck up a conversation about Irish Coffee and traveling. I told her that I had just dropped my ex off at the airport. It was just really ironic that Irish Coffee was originally concocted for travelers who were weary of their 18 hour flights on the seaplane plus a chilling boat ride!
I don't know whether it was our chemistry or the chemistry of the Irish Coffee, but we moved from the bar to my favorite corner table. I love this bar because it has great ambience. It's all wood paneling and it feels like a tavern, a real pub in Ireland. I thought we hit it off well, so I asked her out right away. Enough of sulking for me! I invited her to Megan's birthday party at a lounge that we're meeting at, later this week.
