It’s three fifteen a.m. and I am just in from John’s birthday at the bars. Tomorrow a.m. I think I am off to Kansas City to hook up with BJ and Jason. You have wisdom. I have folly. Five minutes ago on the drive home from Kelly’s Dan gave me “props” for using the word obsequious in a sentence at this time of night. We closed out Off Broadway around one and then went to the closure of Kelly’s next to The Broadway Oyster Bar.

With the new stadium coming in the owner of Kelly’s, John, got the shaft on a new lease and so tonight was the final gasp of Kelly’s. Soon it will be a chain Syberg’s. I could, and perhaps will be, more poetic at some later date about the loss of this fine watering hole – right now I am off to bed.
