Tomorrow marks the first week of my retirement from the bar. It's throwing my weekly rhythm off knowing that the bar won't mark my Fridays any more. I've got plans for tomorrow night, but then what? What am I supposed to do with my weekends?
A humorous question, sure, but asked with a touch of anxiety too. Per a recommendation from Dave, I just finished reading The Tender Bar, a booze-filled memoir which also points out the "safety in numbers" vibe in a bar, that feeling that we're all in this together. That's the bit I'm going to miss.
In any event, best wishes to all of you who've tracked this blog and to all of you who're still out in the field. May your customers be polite and your tips be generous.

Well, Ali, it's sad to see this blog end. But, I'm so proud that you've moved on and will continue to read your new blog.
Onward and upward, sweetie!
Thanks for the good wishes :)
I am predicting that, like Michael Jordan, your "retirement" will be short lived .... sounds like you already miss it...
peace, mw
Well, Mike. Only time will tell how permanent my retirement is, but it's been about three months and while there are things I miss, there are more I don't ;)
So far, the prospect of going back doesn't offer incredible temptation.
