Call 6-1-1

Place: The 611 bar will be the Teachers’ Cocktails location until further notice. The Capitol Club is under reconstruction. Let us pray.
Weather: It’s Seattle. It’s January. Guess.
Attendance: The Fantastic Four
Drinks: Beers for Mandy and Wendy before running off to Marlin’s birthday, a fancy 611 bourbon cocktail for Robin and and Old Fashion for Jerry with Vanessa in mind. (Then Robin and Jerry stayed for one more to talk with Matt, their favorite bartender.)
Conversation: New Year’s recounts and watching the Space Needle fireworks go hay-wire, some talk about goofy students, wondering and jealously about you two in Paris, some talk about “The Catcher in the Rye” and some counting down until our next day off – MLK Day in January. Then Robin and Jerry talk for a long time with Matt the bartender who told us he was getting married.

Sarah: As of my posting time it looks like Clinton is going to win by 3 or so points in NH and McCain won pretty big over Romney with Huckabee pretty far back in 3rd. Wow! This election will make for some good drama!
