Here Comes a Regular

I'm too restless to become a regular at any one drinking establishment. But I can easily understand how a man- for this tavern is decidedly a man's place- might routinely find his way to Harry's Country Club. The bar and restaurant just north of downtown Kansas City encourages the lighting of tobacco and the generous drinking of scotch. I envy the guys who consider Harry's their second home.

Speaking of excess, I'm infatuated with the television program Intervention. The knuckleheads featured on this reality show are even more messed up than most of the addicts in my life.

My new favorite pet is the unfortunately-named red-shafted Northern Flicker that frequents my backyard. He makes my growing collection of Downys seem pedestrian.
