Bar Stool Warmer

Tuesday, March 27, 2012
There is an old man, sitting by himself at the corner of the bar.  He is already on his fourth glass of cheap white-wine.  A solid gold ring sits too big on his old, thin ring-finger and is face droops as his jaded eyes stare into the distance.  Attempting to follow his gaze I realize that he is looking at nothing in particular.  Perhaps he is looking back to brighter days; summer days with his family at the beach, or even further, to the eyes of his bride standing at the altar.  Whatever he is looking at, it is apparent it is long gone.


Until next time,


Mike
