On a mobile device, in a bar, that’s losing juice, so it’s possible I shall run out.

It’s hard to determine. I’ve only been to about ten of its countries.

Bu I think autocorrect is wonderful as it allows me to type semi coherently.

Good call on the whiskey. I’m just up the road from you in Columbia. I’ve done a lot of drinking in KC but not in Jeff City. Enjoy!

This didn’t sound much like a “woo hoo I’m crazy drunk, look at me” sort of post.

It sounded to me more like a “I’d like to talk to someone” kind of post.

I may be way off base, and if so, I apologize.

Do you want someone to talk to?

Well I did just download the Skype app on my phone yesterday. So we could. My wife asked if I had it on my phone and I said “uhhhh, no. I have a phone on my phone.”  
But she’s going to India in two weeks and its the only way to communicate consistently. So I got it.

Anyway, moderately longish story slightly less long, I’m awake without an alarm at 6:3o in the morning on a day I don’t have anything to do until 10. Funny that. And by funny I mean annoying. So sure. Let’s talk!

Oh and no, my post wasn’t a cry for help. A cry for attention? Sure. But then…what post isn’t?

Yeah, a lot of people do I’m told.  
It is ok. I’ll forgive you, my child. If you have any water. I could really use some water right now.

Where did you go, **Enderw24**? Not much to choose from as far as bars in Jefferson City. I would have sent you to Paddy Malone’s and gleaned some vicarious nostalgia.

Are you invited to the inauguration after-party? I worked communications for the security detail for Gov. Blunt’s inauguration. You can’t imagine how trashed the capitol building can get.

Details, man! We need details!

Did the bar lose juice?  
How did you get drunk on juice?  
Did you run out? How fast? Did you trip on anything (other than the juice)?

A restaurant then The hotel bar. I actually wanted to go to Paddys but it was closed. Closed! On a Sunday night. How rude. So I went to Arri’s pizzaria.

And the bar didn’t run out of juice fortunately. Orenthal showed up just in time
